Are you hosting your own DNS as well or is that held by the ISP?

<div>
well our dns is hosted outside the network , so our ip addresses sare something like this<br />
<br />
192.168.1.x<br />
<br />
our dns = 209.222.313.x <br />
<br />
so we are using a public address as our dns server, but its hosted outside , we can add records to it, but we dont want to . &nbsp;I think my firewall sees a loop and is blocking it.

So you don't have an internal dns server?<br />
Is port 53 UDP traffic allowed out through the watchguard?<br />

I have some websites I am hosting. &nbsp;However they are being hosted using one to one nat. &nbsp;So when I am using external dns it looks for the public address, but for some reason I cant lookup my websites via the public addresses, I dont know if the firewall is blocking the loop or what, when I am outside the network, I can view the websites no problem, but internally Its not showing up . I am using a watchguard x500 .. any ideas ?<br />

Public Address went internal

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
