RE: DNS Lookups using PIX 6.2.2

We have a bunch of PC's on our inside network, they access an
external company via a PIX 525 firewall running 6.2.2 software.

There is now a requirement for the PC's to perform DNS lookups
to the 3rd party companies DNS server sat off the outside
interface.

The problem is that we need to be able to use a global pool of
addresses to cut down on the number of required inside addresses
to satisfy the DNS lookups.

     PC ---- PIX ------ DNS Server
        Inside outside

I was expecting the following config to work - but it dosn't !!

  global (inside) 2 10.1.1.1-10.1.1.63 netmask 255.255.255.192
  nat (outside) 2 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dns outside

requests still come through un nat'ed

Help !!!!!
