checkpoint & subnet->host NAT

Subject: checkpoint & subnet->host NAT
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2005 15:54:01 -0700
Howdy y'all,
 I have an interesting situation. Below is a simple layout:

                                    Internet
                                          |
<client>10.1.0.0/16 ------[fw]----internal DNS

I have the client machines all being controlled by a 3rd party, so I don't have any control over what they assign as their IP or DNS server. However I route all of their traffic through my firewall (sorry you won't get an explination why, just assume it's so:).

The problem is that they are assigned DNS servers on the internet (lets say 64.221.222.0/24 (just random #'s I just made up, but just assume it's that).

What I want to do is take all requests from the <client> going to the internet based DNS Servers (udp 53) and redirect that traffic (using nat or not, whatever we can get working), to internal DNS servers.

So if I was doing this with linux/iptables, I would just redirect udp port 53 on the <client> network over to my internal DNS IP's, however on the checkpoint I've found that it doesn't like to have source net NAT to a destination host. It seems to want net->net or host->host, which won't work as we don't know if or when the <client> provider may change their dns server settings.

Any thoughts appreciated.
