I am researching on how to tunnel udp DNS queries. There are lots of information on how to do this for secure web browsing (ssh/squid, enable remote dns proxy in config: firefox etc..). I would like to tunnel all DNS queries from a Linux box via ssh to a remote DNS server. I looked into port forwarding 53 but was not sucessfull. As DNS queries are UDP I am not sure if it will work with openssh. My understanding is openssh tunnel only works with TCP. Any input would be appreciated.
Using socat, I have in the past easily managed to serve DNS requests coming on port 53 by forwarding them to external DNS servers. I have not tried routing them enveloped in an SSH tunnel. Though, for something as trivial as DNS queries, I don't know why one would want to do that. -- Ayaz Ahmed Khan "I'm returning this note to you, instead of your paper, because it (your paper) presently occupies the bottom of my bird cage." -- English Professor, Providence College
