RE: DNS forwarder

 Ryan,
In the dns forwarder page, the first line is for the hostname, put the
actual internal server name in the host box, ie:servername. I use the
forwarder a lot and it works wonderfully but if you just use the domain
without a hostname things may not work like you expect if you have more than
one host.

Yes all computers are using the firewall as the DNS server.
