Greetings, Isn't it dangerous to have a firewall that allows the use of domain names, forcing it to resolve them with DNS? This just begs for someone to DNS spoof it, rendering the firewall virtually worthless. Also, apparently the rules that I create aren't static? I encountered this yesterday when my main DNS was having a hiccup and the firewall rules on all my machines running IPFW were suddenly completely changed, replaced with root.register.com IP addresses. Is there someway I've missed in all the docs to keep my rules in effect no matter what?
