Re: Inside DNS Issue

Read inline please.

In news:1180456219.327849.266760@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
amantica@xxxxxxxxx <amantica@xxxxxxxxx> typed:
We have DNS setup for our current domain and I have all the proper
entries so users get to my mail server via the internal ip instead of
the outside ip.

For example:
ourdomain.com has entries for smtp.ourdomain.com as a mail exchanger
and a host record and they both go to my internal ip 192.168.x.x

Our mail domain name is changing and it will not be same as the name
of our DNS domain. I need entries so smtp.newdomain.com gets
translated to our inside ips. How do I do that?

Do I have to setup a new zone?

Create a new forward lookup zone named smtp.newdomain.com, in that zone
create a host "A"(Address) record, leave the name field blank, give it the
IP of the mail server.

On a side note- Just because you are changing e-mail domains does not mean
you have to access the server by the new e-mail domain name. You can just as
easily still access the server by using the old name. In fact, and even
though you have not mentioned the MX record, regardless of which domain the
MX record is in, the MX record should give the SMTP HELO name for the mail
server name in the MX record like this:
olddomain.com
@ MX 0 smtp.olddomain.com.
-and-
newdomain.com
@ MX 0 smtp.olddomain.com.
