We are getting reports from a couple of people that some Skinny Modems are
getting confused with some DNS records. It appears that if the IP returned
from the lookup is a RFC 1918 one they won't return the result to the
client.

One modem in question has:

Skinny Smart Modem VRV9517UWAC34-A-SP

on it and I think VRV9517 is the model name.

This appears to be a fairly recent problem, showing up since people came
back from break. Not ruling out some other cause but direct testing of
queries is doing the above. Possibly a recent software upgrade or
"security" setting.

Direct queries against the DNS servers themselves seem okay, it only
breaks when you use the modem as the DNS server.

Not confirmed for all of RFC1918 space, but definitly 192.168.1.x

Anyone seen similar or know of a fix? (for now we are getting people to
use 1.1.1.1 or similar for DNS).
