That was the next thing I was about to suggest. His FIOS router should be
running DNS itself by default, with it pointing to Verizon's name servers.
So he could try using 192.168.1.1 in his named.conf forwarders directive.
This would just recurse out to Verizon's name servers and should get a basic
external resolution going, provided he has not altered the default router
setup.
Example from mine: (don't just cut and paste but adjust as required)
options {
directory "/etc/namedb";
pid-file "/var/run/named/pid";
dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";
listen-on { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.10.1; };
allow-recursion {127.0.0.1; 192.168.10.0/24;};
// If you've got a DNS server around at your upstream provider, enter
// its IP address here, and enable the line below. This will make you
// benefit from its cache, thus reduce overall DNS traffic in the Internet.
forwarders {
208.67.222.222; 208.67.220.220; 192.168.1.1;
};
// query-source address * port 53;
};
-------/ Below are snipped out zone file directives for my local stuff /---
The first two IP addresses in my forwarders clause are for OpenDNS. You
could delete them so as to only have 192.168.1.1 and your FreeBSD's DNS
server will then forward requests to your FIOS router which will then
request from Verizon. Use of the listen-on and allow-recursion is not
necessary, but if you decide to utilize make sure they reflect values which
apply to your situation. Do rndc reload or reboot to take effect.
I think he has some other issues pending as well, but one thing at a time.
