Perhaps someone here can point me in the right direction (thank you). I have
2 servers, fixing to be 2003 DC. I have registered a domain (mycomany.com).
1 of the 2 servers will be Exchange 2003, the other the www server. I have
pointed my registar ns1 and ns2 to my servers. Both servers have 2 nics. 1
for a 10.10.10.x range LAN and the other is on 192.168.0.x range for the
internet (multi-homed). Question is, should I create my domain as
mycomany.local or mycompany.com? Would it be more secure to use .local since
it is internal only? If I did .local what would be the best way to get this
to work so that internet people can get to my www and exchange and still be
secure on the inside? I have been fighting with this a while and have taken
everything down to await some advice. If my internal domain is .local, would
it affect my exchange per say my email would be Danno@mydomain.local instead
.com. i know it is a lot, but any advice is greatly appreciaited. this is a
very small business trying to grow. thank you.
