From what I gather about the situation, (please correct me if I'm completely off base), you'd like external queries to only be able to lookup *.vickiandstacey.com (and get the public IP), and internal queries to get the internal IP of our server. Correct? I believe you will need to setup two nameservers, one bound to each physical interface on your box (external and internal). > From your e-mail advice last evening, I thought that the new set up I > would attempting to implement would have then involved enabling my local > boxes to use Demon to resolve local machine names, but for external > addresses, my nameserver set-up would be such that these queries would > then be passed to my ISP's NS's. Ok, now I'm confused. So you mean, you want external requests to go to your ISP's nameserver? and your internal requests to go to your local LAN nameserver? Set your workstations to use your internal nameserver as primary DNS. Maybe one of these two scenarios is what you want to be doing? - Nick Jennings - nkj@namdon.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
