DNS forwarding

Hello,
We use DNS forwarding to external DNS servers in some VLANs. Now the question has arisen as to what information reaches the external DNS server. Does it see the Watchguard as the requesting client, or the client behind the firewall?
I could not find this information in the documentation.

Greetings

    The outgoing packets use the external IP addr of the firewall.
    So that is what the Internet DNS server should see.

    Hi Bruce,
    ok that's right, it's actually obvious. Thank you for your reply.
