From what I remember, you have a router plugged into your ISP, and your SuSE box into your router and the one with the problem.
Joe you're scaring me. 8-} That's my setup exactly.
Assuming that I understood that correctly, I would suggest setting up bind9 (DNS) as a caching server (i.e. just have the forwards configured to forward to your ISPs name servers.
I went into yast2 > network services > dns server . I had it start at boot. But I'm confused about the forwards you mentioned.
Then, in your dhclient.conf, add prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; which will add your local caching name server in addition to your ISPs.
I uncommented this line. There is also more in this file ... prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; send dhcp-lease-time 3600; request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name; require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers; timeout 60; retry 60; reboot 10; select-timeout 5; initial-interval 2; script "/sbin/dhclient-script"; #media "-link0 -link1 -link2", "link0 link1"; #reject 192.33.137.209; Thanks -- E.F.Maurer Using SuSE 9.0 Pro
