Have I got this right? With Split-DNS, the local DNS and the external DNS both claim to be authoratative about mycompany.com; the local DNS has private IPs for local resources (192.168 etc) and the external DNS has external IPs for external resources (69.... etc)?
What about the local reverse lookup of mail.mycompany.com? DO I point 192.168.X.X at mail.mycompany.com or mail.localdomain?
Sorry if this has been asked to death. |
You point all your DNS records that are located on your LAN DNS server at your private LAN IP address. I'd also suggest that you use the same domain name for your lan DNS records as you have for the external domain name, it usually stops any confusion for your users.
