Hi Jeff,

thanks for the help.

This is a nice idea. I had not seen your alternate ports. These days
I've tested your nameserver.

Yes, it worked on various networks but my ISP blocked all connection. I
ask my ISP about his firewall accesslist. I realized that all UDP
packages will blocked.

In the last days I read many ideas. I think it's a tough one. My
solution will be using udptunnel to bypass the firewall. The tool
udptunnel tunnels UDP packages via TCP connection. The end of the tunnel
will be on a free side of the web.  For this purpose i wrote some mails
to an OpenNIC member ;-) which offers vserver. The UDP blockade also
affects other tools, which we want to use. So I think the tunnel is the
best solution.

Finally, once again, thank you Jeff. Your note and your alternate port
helped me to understand the problem.

Best Regards,
Markus
