David,
I think I need to clarify the NAT setup. I have dedicated, fixed
external and internal IP addresses. As far as I know our Cisco router
just translates everything, without analysis, between my internal and
external addresses, in both directions. I assume you were talking about
the common office set up where everyone shares an internal, or an
external address.

Considering this, should the ruleset I posted eariler work? I am
currently using an external name server for resolution, but I will be
setting up named and using my own named for resolution.

Jason
