interesting Proplem using Linux as a Router

[Leonard Soetedjo]

Hi,

Did you configure your name server in /etc/resolv.conf?  You may want to 
verify that first.  Then check that you can do a dig by connecting to that 
name server.  If you can't, it is probable that you block DNS lookup with 
your iptables.
