Task 1.8

Configure NAT and Policies on the Firewall

Change the NAT and policy settings on the firewall to allow bidirectional DNS traffic to and from ns1.corp100.com 
and NTP traffic from ns1.corp100.com to the NTP server at 3.3.3.3.

For example, enter the following commands on a Juniper firewall running ScreenOS 4.x or later:

set address dmz ns1 10.1.5.2/32

set address untrust ntp_server 3.3.3.3/32

set interface ethernet1 mip 1.1.1.2 host 10.1.5.2

set policy from dmz to untrust ns1 any dns permit

set policy from untrust to dmz any mip(1.1.1.2) dns permit

set policy from dmz to untrust ns1 ntp_server ntp permit

At this point, the new DNS server can take over DNS service from the legacy server. You can remove the legacy server 
and unset any firewall policies permitting traffic to and from 10.1.5.3.
