Not entirely sure what the question is, but sometimes with proxy situations you can modify the /etc/hosts file (or equivalent) to make the machine resolve itself as a external host to play nice as a proxy when the external world thinks otherwise (or similar trickery)

This also supersedes in most configurations a dns lookup so there is no need for runing internal and external dns servers until the /etc/hosts file needs maintaining because of the number of proxies your running or something.

NAME
desproxy-dns - DNS for dynamic connections SYNOPSIS
desproxy-dns dns_server proxy_host proxy_port OPTIONS
None DESCRIPTION
If you have direct DNS access then you don't need to do anything else. You know you have direct DNS access if you can resolve host names to IP addresses. NOTE: as desproxy-dns listens in port 53 (which is less than 1024) you may need administrator privileges to exec desproxy-dns (in fact if you are running UN*X, you actually have to run desproxy-dns as root). OK, so you have a dns server accessible now. But your computer doesn't know anything about that. You must configure your network accordingly (again, need to be root in UN*X). Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1". You don't have to restart anything. Just test ping and see if it works. ENVIRONMENT
