ppp -nat broken???

Hi!

I wonder if userland ppp's nat option is broken or if I missed 
something new.

I am using my freebsd (5.3-STABLE) machine as internet gateway. 
Everything works all-right from the gateway itself.>From my workstations I can ping any IP in the internet, butdomain names won't be resolved ("unknown host").

These are my rc.conf lines:

kern_securelevel_enable="NO"
inetd_enable="YES"
gateway_enable="YES"
named_enable="YES"
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="YES"
ppp_profile="my-profile"


Thanks for any hints,

Uli.

ppp -nat broken???

Hello,

It has something to do with your DNS. Do the following:

- show us your /etc/resolv.conf
- are you really sure named is configured correctly?

ppp -nat broken???

Hello Peter,

Oke, if you are using windows clients show me ipconfig /all. And in the case of
linux/unix /etc/resolv.conf.

So if you don't using named(!?:) turn it off?

You really need to give us some more information..

ppp -nat broken???

Oke.. are you using DHCP or static. I suppose you are using dhcp?? So i will
give you a example of my dhcpd.conf:

option domain-name "sam.intern";
        option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.1;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.255.240;
        option broadcast-address 192.168.0.15;
        default-lease-time 600;
        max-lease-time 7200;
        authoritative;
        ddns-update-style none;
        log-facility local7;

Look at these "option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.1;"
this are the dns-server my clients get when they ask for a dhcp-lease. You
should check if your dns-servers has something like:

        forwarders {
        195.62.99.42; 195.62.97.177;
        };

If i'm not right. Give us some more information about your setup.. i'm
just guessing around now..

Samuel Trommel

ppp -nat broken???

Just set named="NO" instead of "YES" reboot you server
and(rc.conf). Change the DNS-Server of you clients in:

Primary nameserver 195.62.99.42
Secundary nameserver 195.62.97.177

Really sorry about this, I set this up long ago and never thought 
about it again.

I never had to do this before this way. I always simply set my 
gateway as name-server and I wonder what has changed the last 
week or so.
Just imagine, I had to upgrade our school's gateway/proxy (which 
runs on 4.7) one day: I would have to run around and change 40x2 
nameserver addresses.

ppp -nat broken [solved]

the wrong track. Indeed -nat works all-right. My problems were 
caused by recent changes of named and BIND.
Big thanks for all hints which helped me to analyze this. For 
details look further down.

had to do anything else. This stopped working "out of the box" 
some time ago. From /usr/src/UPDATING (20040928, 20040925) I 
learn that named and BIND have changed. I did the respective 
changes and edited two entries in /var/named/etc/named/named.conf
1) I commented
 	listen-on	{127.0.0.1;};
2) I put my two nameserver IPs (from /etc/resolv.conf) into
 	forwarders {
 		195.62.99.42;
 		195.62.97.177;
 	};

After restarting named everything worked as before: my clients 
accept my gateway's IP as gateway *and* nameserver.


Thanks and regards,

Uli.
