That is what I thought, I have had two Zen DNS servers in my trusted zone for a long time now, I used the Zen ones when the Ntl DNS was a bit shaky a while ago, but both my BB and dial up connection are, or where set to obtain DNS automatically and I have had no problems for ages, it is only since setting up expert rules for Generic Host for Win 32 that my dial up connection failed. ZA Pro kept blocking connection attempts to 212.23.3.11 which is a Zen Dns server but not the two I had in my trusted zone. I have now set expert rules to allow 212.23.8.1 and 212.23.8.6 and set dial up account to use these and the problem is no more. I did try to add these to "Rules" but connection still failed until I specified them in dial up settings.
Using the link you provided to the letter, it blocked anything other than the specific Dns servers you enter into rules on dial up.
I cannot explain why my BB connection works with "Obtain DNS automatically" and yet the dial up is blocked with the same settings.
