Just like you do for a host on a public network. Give the internal machines the public IP of your ISP's DNS server. Any DNS request will need to get out to the public. This request will just get sent to the default route which, as you stated, is the 2nd NIC on your FreeBSD box. It's not really any different then running any other connection through the gateway from the private network. I presume your filtering allows DNS. The other fellow said something about DHCP and DNS settings. I can't comment on how that works. I have seen these settings on a DSL router but I never used them. You said you are running static so I hope my answer applies. Thank you, Jason C.
