ASA Same Interface routing DNS is being blocked

I have a situation where the network I inherited is using an ASA for the default gateway, instead of a router.  I am trying to add a series of subnets off the inside interface to begin eliminating some VPN connections with point to point connections.  The problem I have is that DNS is being blocked at the far end.

I have added a policy map to bypass stateful inspection of tcp packets.  I have added access rules to allow all IP traffic to and from the remote subnet.  I have set same security traffic to allow intra-interface traffic.  I have added a route that points any remote destined traffic to the interface of the router that is handling that traffic.  At this point, I am not sure what else to try.  When I run packet tracer using UDP and port 53, it shows that the packet should be allowed both directions, and the access rule shows increases in the hit count.

If anyone has any ideas of what to try, please let me know.  IP layout is as follows:

Local network is 10.100.0.0/22.  I have a router connected to the same inside switch that the 10.100 network is attached to, and the gateway is 10.100.0.1 on the firewall, and 172.28.0.1/22 on the router to the remote networks.  The remote networks will all be in the 172.28.0.0/16 network, subnetted by location as I go along.  Far side facing interface of the router is 172.28.0.1, and internal facing interface is 10.100.0.3, so the route statement on the ASA is route inside 172.28.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.100.0.3.  The server that is having the problem accessing DNS back into the local location is located about 2 hours away.  I can log into it using the local administrator access, but NSLookup and ping by name to anything fails.  This server IP is 172.28.5.2, and is located in the 172.28.5.0/26 network.  So I have layer 3 ICMP connectivity to everything, and I can SSH into the far router located with the server, but I cannot get DNS working.

I am completely at a loss.  Please help!

Thank you in advance for all help provided

Hi, any updates in this?

Hello,

 

I assume you have the same problem ? I guess the reason this question was not answered was because it was not clear what 'DNS blocked at remote end' actually meant.

If you have the same problem, post the configuration of the ASA...

Hello

Just to review -Not sure i understand your topology -You say you have 172.28.0.1/22  is on the outside interface of the ASA for remote networks, and the server is remote on 172.28.5.0/26 but these two network are in different subnets?

 

Your DNS server which is 10.100.0.3 on the inside of your ASA does this resolve queries?

 

Lasty - i don't understand this statement -" Far side facing interface of the router is 172.28.0.1, and internal facing interface is 10.100.0.3, so the route statement on the ASA is route inside 172.28.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.100.0.".

Can you post a topology diagram of this network with the requested running config of the asa so we can review it
