Chip,

If DNS is blocked at the firewall, then somebody thought there was a 
valid reason to control and/or monitor DNS usage. This does not 
necessarily mean that it *was* a valid reason, but somebody probably 
thought it was valid. The potential valid reasons may include the safety 
of our armed forces, so I recommend that your son investigate it.

DNS is an important and complex piece of security and privacy on the 
Internet.

Kind regards,
Justis
