I argued that this can't be true since on my network my cisco router is also my firewall and my dns server is working fine behind this. He then told me that he was talking about IPFW that comes with FreeBSD. I have never used this so I would not know. Please give me some clarity on this as I am not an expert on Unix Firewalling.
