Gateway is not reply on DNS requests

Hi,

I'm wondering why the firewall doesn't respond to DNS queries at all.

The provider DNS is set, but when I do an Nslookup with query google via the gateway IP (192.168.100.254), I only get the response: no answer from the server. What is the reason for this? I only found in the documentation that I have to enter the provider DNS. What else is missing here?

Customer network: 192.168.100.0/24

Please help me.

Kind regards

Rafael

I assume the old firewall was not a Check Point.

Only Spark appliances provide this type of function for small office applications

The Gateway doesn't provide DNS proxy support if that's what you're asking here.

The end clients should reference a valid DNS server and this traffic needs to be permitted in your gateway policy.

Previously, the customer had a DNS hierarchy:

1. DNS is the Active Directory server for all computers
2. the Active Directory DNS server then had a forwarding to the old firewall
3. the firewall then made a request to the provider

This hierarchy no longer works, which is why the issue arose.

Because the Active Directory now queries the provider directly.

I am only surprised when my “nslookup” to the Check Point firewall is always answered with “No response”.

Thanks
