--=-+VnSQFRvQGQbvnyZjTY4 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi Ceri, I understand why you would suggest that I add an A record for www.vickiandstacey.com in the zone and reverse files, but what remains with me is wondering *why* all was well earlier this morning - that is: I was able to resolve wwww.vickiandstacey.com, returning the external IP addr.., *and* able to resolve other local machines on the private lan (including Demon.vickiandstacey.com), returning local private IP addresses for them. Upon my return from work (feeling rather pleased with myself too) I thought I'd like to see this again, but that's when I saw that I was now unable to resolve www.vickiandstacey.com (other Internet hosts were fine btw). With respect to you suggestion though, presuming that I am supposed to add the external IP address for Demon in the zone file, what then becomes of Demon's *internal* address? That is to say, running nslookup from another lan box I would like Demon's 192.168..... address returned, but running nslookup on www.vickiandstacey.com should return the *external address (which is what I saw earlier this morning). 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. Have I still got this concept wrong? Thanks for the encouraging words by the way, I do appreciate your efforts.
