Hello all again ...
I followed your advice for DNS and firewalling but it didn't work ... i had to
add (after the first arrow) :

# Par default, interdiction de tout les services
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -p deny
/sbin/ipfwadm -O -p accept
/sbin/ipfwadm -I -p accept

# Vider les regles de traces
/sbin/ipfwadm -F -f
/sbin/ipfwadm -O -f
/sbin/ipfwadm -I -f

# Autoriser le traffic DNS sur les 2 serveurs de noms 5 et 12
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P udp -S 0.0.0.0/0 53 -D 195.115.167.5
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 53 -D 195.115.167.5
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P udp -S 0.0.0.0/0 53 -D 195.115.167.12
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 53 -D 195.115.167.12

 ---> you told me to set tcp too ...
---> but i had to add these following rules :

ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P udp -S 195.115.167.5 53 -D 0.0.0.0/0
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 195.115.167.5 53 -D 0.0.0.0/0
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P udp -S 195.115.167.12 53 -D 0.0.0.0/0
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 195.115.167.12 53 -D 0.0.0.0/0

--> Why ? -b means bi-directional, no ?
--> can someone tell me why ?

But so far it seems ok on my 2 DNS servers ...

There are still some problem with SMTP.. i will try to be clear (ugh in english
...)
I tested by "telneting" 2 SMTP servers :
mail.ic3w.com (running imailsix on NT) and .toto.com (running Sendmail v8)

In the Firewaling HOWTO for SMTP to allow connections to remote SMTP server :
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 195.115.167.5 25 -D 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535

But did not work and  tcpdump on internal interface shows :

ysaha.ic3w.net.28832 > mail.pcestablishment.com.smtp:
mail.pcestablishment.com.smtp > ysaha.ic3w.net.28832
                                                                          ^^^^^^
---> what is this port ?
---> dynamic allocated one ?
---> i saw some of them further (with auth)

 ... i set up the rule like this then :
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 195.115.167.5 1024:65535 -D 0.0.0.0/0 25
---> i dont understand .28832 ?

... it 's almost OK :
without firewall (all rules off), the connection is immediat on both SMTP
servers, but with the firewall, it's takes a long time to the one that running
Sendmail. It's takes almost 30 seconds ... 
The difference when the firewall is off is 2 lines like :

nnxfoo.fr.27796 > ysaha.ic3w.net.auth
ysaha.ic3w.net.auth > nnx.foo.fr.27796

---> Is there any authetification and what is this 27796 ?
I had a look in /etc/services and saw "auth 113/tcp". Then i added this 2
rules :

ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535 -D 195.115.167.0/25 113 
ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 195.115.167.0/25 113 -D 0.0.0.0/0 1024:65535

.. works FAR BETTER ... is it good gurus ??

Sorry for this VERY long post. i hope you will forgive me.
If someone can aswer my question, it would be very very nice.

Thank you very much in advance,
Regards,

Vincent Schultz

PS : In the last email Glynn, you talked about recursive request. For me
recursive (like in algorith) is if the DNS server send a request to resolve an
address... to itself !. I get in a program, but not for DNS request. Can you
tell me more please or point me in the right direction. Thank you.
PS2: very hard to try to be a administrator ... ;-)
