I'm attempting to block access to port 53 from internet hosts for an internal server. This device is behind a gateway router so all traffic appears to come from source ip 10.100.1.1. Here are my (non-working) iptables rules:
If it is behind a gateway router, how is port 53 traffic getting from the internet to that DNS server in the first place.
Also ... IF you are PORT FORWARDING port 53 from the internet to the DNS server, then the SOURCE IP will not be the IP of the forwarding device, but the IP of the machine making the request.
If this device is really behind a firewall why are you even forwarding any traffic to it from port 53 in the first palce?

Assuming a SOHO LinkSys firewall preferably with dd-wrt alternative firmware. Are you sure this DNS Server is not in the DMZ? Are you sure the port isn't opened under the UPnP section? It is conceivable that mDNS / AVAHI with a UPnP router automatically open this port on the firewall.
