DNS forwarding with an ASA

jeff.carr
Beginner

I need to be able to use the 'inside' IP address of an ASA 5510 (v8.2) as the recognized DNS server configured in TCP/IP settings on internal workstations.

I understand that the ASA cannot act as a DNS server, but can the "ip dns server" and "ip name-server x.x.x.x" commands  be used to forward DNS requests to a know DNS server? If not, is there a known method to have the ASA forward a DNS request to a known DNS server?


Thanks.

You could try this -

static (outside,inside) udp interface 53 53

Let me know if it works.
