Tried that..  Didn't work..  I put the helper address on the internal 
interface and pointed the help-address to the dns server.

I tried a dns query on the ip of the router and it returned nothing.  
 From my understanding the helper-address forwards udp broadcasts - ie 
for dhcp/bootp a dns query is a udp unicast. 

Since a number of people have suggest the same I might be doing 
something wrong.  I'd suggest you try that in your own environment as it 
didn't work for me.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
