The internal network is addressed as 192.168.1/24. How can I route from the internal addresses, through the internal interface of the firewall, to the external interface of the firewall, back through the port address translation to my internal nameservers? If this question is too arcane, please refer me to the correct documentation. I don't even know where to start. Routing has always just magically worked on FreeBSD. I would think it would be possible to add some sort of manual route to the routing tables, but what do I know. The idea is to allow roamers to roam and never have to change any of their configuration settings, namely their DNS settings. Split DNS obviously can handle all other settings such as mail, time, web and so forth. Handling the DNS settings themselves, which are by IP address, proves more difficult. Thanks, Jason C. Wells
