I've the following configuration: CISCO 881, IOS 15.2(4)M6. On WAN interface is configured the 86.34.156.48/29 subnet from our ISP. Behind the router is staying 2 webserver. NAT: 86.34.156.51 <> 10.10.10.100 (private IP, server1). If I configure the BIND DNS server A records with the external IP of the server(86.34.156.51) the outside world never get the response from my DNS server(I don't know what happens there, perhaps the router does DNS doctoring or something similar ( it is a question)), and it is sure the DNS server is configured and works properly(I captured the IP packets with TCPdump). But if I configure the DNS server A records with the server private IP (10.10.10.100) the packets is alwasy arriving to proper destination(with the server external IP, perhaps DNS doctoring too). The only one problem with this is the DNS packet TTL value disappearing, as you can see in the below digs output.
What could I do???
