Subject:   IPFW rules for DNS?
Message-ID:  <20000613014237.10942.qmail@web210.mail.yahoo.com>

I need to do nslookup quite often, and I have the following IPFW rules which
allow nslookup to talk to my ISP's DNS server:

  allow udp from ${my_ip} to ${dns_server} 53
  allow udp from ${dns_server} 53 to ${my_ip}

Problem with the above rules is that people can pass IPFW if they use UDP port
53 with a spoofed IP that matches my ISP's DNS server. Is there a way to fix my
problem?

Thanks.

-Hugh
