Maybe I am just tired but even though this makes sense it could really be written a lot more clearly couldnt it ?
From the web GUI in m0n0wall 1.233 services DNS Forwarder
If the DNS forwarder is enabled, the DHCP service (if enabled) will automatically serve the LAN IP address as a DNS server to DHCP clients so they will use the forwarder. The DNS forwarder will use the DNS servers entered in System: General setup or those obtained via DHCP or PPP on WAN if the "Allow DNS server list to be overridden by DHCP/PPP on WAN" is checked. If you don't use that option (or if you use a static IP address on WAN), you must manually specify at least one DNS server on the System: General setup page.
Can someone explain this more simply to me please
