DNS requests blocked/redirected

Hello all.
I am attempting to set up a virtual envionment using Endian 2.5.1. I have replaced several hardware firewalls with EFW. My problem is that DNS requests through the firewall (RED-->GREEN) seem to be redirected. THis all worked when the firewalls were hardware.
I have DNS client (SERVER1) on the RED segment (VMNet1) which is configured to use a DNS server (SERVER2) on the GREEN segment (VMNet2).
SERVER1 cannot get DNS responses from SERVER2.
DNS clients on the same network as the server get proper DNS resolution.
When I moved SERVER1 temporarily onto the GREEN segment, everything worked.
Using Wireshark, I can see that DNS requests from the RED network do not arrive at SERVER2.
The Endian Firewall ACL has a permit all IP statement for the traffic and logs show the DNS requests being permitted.
Using Wireshark I can see that DNS requests are sent from SERVER1 to SERVER2 via the firewall.
When I reconfigure SERVER1 to send DNS requests to a different box on the GREEN segment, Wireshark shows the requests arriving at that box (SERVER3)
I am assuming that there is some sort of proxy-redirect going on. Under the DNS Proxy settings the Transparent setting is disabled. I have also tried it enabled without success.
Oddly, when I capture DNS request traffic on SERVER1 I see some sort of DNS redirect. The first packet goes to SERVER2 via the firewall as expected - SERVER1_IP (MAC1) --> SERVER2_IP (FW MAC)
But then the firewall issues a of DNS request packets to SERVER2 on the RED segment. FIREWALL_IP (FW MA) --> SERVER2_IP (XX MAC)
The XX MAC address is actually the upstream gateway address.
So, some questions:
Why is the firewall redirecting the DNS packet upstream if DNS proxy is disabled?
Why is the firewall sending a packet to SERVER2_IP (GREEN) but sending it out on the wrong interface (RED)?
As a note, when I perform the same test to SERVER3, there is no redirect. The only difference that I can see being that SERVER2 is the primary DNS address configured in the firewall and SERVER3 is unknown to the firewall.
I appreciate any information that you can give me on the DNS proxy or whatever is going on here.

As noted in the original post, "Under the DNS Proxy settings the Transparent setting is disabled. I have also tried it enabled without success".
Is there something else I should try with DNS proxy?

Try this command and let me know if it fixes the problem, this is just a temporary fix to see if that is what is causing the problem.
ip rule del fwmark 0x8/0x7f8
