Re: DNS Query

Hi again Marina,

okay, as usual I've confused myself. Sleep deprivation and stress seems to
have that affect on me. I notice on my old SBS server I had only one
forward lookup zone for my domain, which was my external domain name, i.e.
domain.org And in this forward lookup zone, all the workstations were
listed along with manually created entries by me because of our firewall
issues. So, I had mail and www as hosts pointing to the relevant internal IP
addresses.

Now with the new server, it has created a Internaldomain.local one by itself
and I have also added a domain of domain.org for our external domain. I have
added the www and mail hosts to both domains with internal IP addresses for
both in both zones. Is this safe to do? I need to give our webserver and our
SBS server internal ip addresses for local networked computers because the
firewall will not let them go out and back in again. It is just a
requirement of the firewall we have to have intnernal ips for our public
domains. So the question is this, is what I have done, i.e. adding the new
external forward lookup zone for our external domain and also putting in the
hosts in both those domains with private ip addresses?

Does that make sense?

thanks in advance,
Paddy.
