DNS port forward

> Read my second post, it does tell you what I did to test.

   I don't have an account with BuddyNS, so I assume that I can't use
their "a test service within there consol", and "UDP queries ERROR"
doesn't tell me much, either.  I'm far from an authority, but my dim
impression was that UDP was used for DNS much more than TCP, so that if
UDP port forwarding was bad, hardly anything would work.  (And, as I
said, "I haven't noticed any problems" around here, but I don't know how
to reproduce your test(s).)

> Although it doesn't say [...]

   No, it does say.  As I said, I was looking for a way to compare the
behavior of your server with that of mine from an outside-world
location.  And, as I complained before, "I have also used several other
internet based DNS test services" was less than helpful.

   You think that the _hardware_ is the problem?  That wouldn't be my
first guess.
