I think DNS ZOne Transfers use TCP 53. Lookups use UDP.

If I'm not mistaken, in certain cases DNS lookups can use TCP 53. I know
downloads use TCP 53 but depending on the lookup size I believe lookups can
also use TCP 53.

Shouldn't the second line in the access-list be like that:

access-list 105 permit udp [x.x.x.0 0.0.0.255] gt 1023 [x.x.x.0 0.0.0.255]
eq 53 log

Which means that the source udp port number is greater than 1023 and
destination port is UDP 53. Isn't that the way dns works?

I may be totally wrong

For anyone who cares, here's a tested dns filter.
What a moment of incompetence? I mean, I've worked with
PIX on a daily basis and have set my share of perimeter
ACL's. But get me on my home network and all bets are off.

Actually, I think the PIX runs a fixup protocol on DNS, like
FTP,SMTP,etc.
Maybe that's why I drew a blank. Still no excuse.

access-list 105 permit tcp any x.x.0.0 0.0.y.x established
access-list 105 permit udp [x.x.x.0 0.0.0.255] eq 53 [x.x.x.0 0.0.0.255]
gt 1023 log
                              dns servers inside subnets

Log it to test it.

interface serial 1
 ip access-group 105 in
