DNS-Request+Dial-up+Caching Nameserve

We use a Client/Server-software which sometimes sends an "A?"-request
for the name of the server of the database. I have setup an
dial-up-gateway for our network to access the internet. I'm using
IP-Masquerading on a SUSE-6.0-distribution.

The request for the name-resolution opens the dial-up connection. I
could solve it with an entry in the hosts-file of our Win-clients, but I
don't want to move to all the places. I was able to setup a caching
nameserver on the gateway-machine very quick. It runs but its'
hosts-file doesn't help.

I'm new to the DNS thing. Do you have an idea to filter this certain
request? I need all the other requests of course :-))

Thank you for your help+ideas
