Hello Aaron, I'm using m0nowall at home too with a powerbook running 10.3.5. The DNS-forwarder works fine for local entries with my four WinXP computers. With the powerbook this is different. You can resolve the addresses with dig but a ping doesn't work. I did some research and found out that the domain .local changes the way of dns-resolving for local addresses from normal dns-requests to dns-broadcasts under OSX. But m0n0wall naturally doesn't respond to these broadcasts. So this should work if you change your local domain away from .local. But at this time I didn't try changing my dns-domain. So maybe this doesn't work. Eventually I try it tonight and can post some good or bad news.
