dns server behind a firewall with a non routed ip?

[Marc Thach Xuan Ky]

Brad,
What are you trying to achieve?  I mean what addresses do you want returned to
the outside world by your DNS server.  I find it hard to believe that you have
been contracted by microsoft to run their DNS service.  So what servers are you
wanting to list and where are they located?
