I believe DNS lookups will ordinarily use UDP but may use TCP for larger transfers (like the 20 addresses returned for yahoo.com). It is my understanding (and experience) that DNS requires both UDP 53 and TCP 53 open through a firewall to avoid problems. Mike On Mon, 19 Dec 2005, ed wrote:

>Would it be because dns sometimes talks UDP? (I forget the details.) Thanks - that was my first thought, but (a) the blocked packets show up as TCP, not UDP, and (b) I still had the problem even when I added UDP explicitly to the pass rule I show. So I'm still stuck. /jon/
