Split DNS Configuration in BIND

[babu dheen]

Dear Doug,
 
Appreciate your quick response. Actually this setup is very much required for us. Let me tell you the scenario: 
 
We have DNS record called "mail.company.com" which is hosted in internal company LAN network. When any users try to access mail.company.com in browser, they will get private IP address and immediately they will get mail.company.com website home page whereas if any of my company users try to access the mail.company.com website from internet(outside company), they should get public IP address which should be pointed to mail.company.com website.
 
Kindly let me know solution for the same.
 
Regards
Babu

Better yet, re-examine the reasons you want to do this, and consider not doing it. It's incredibly rare that using split DNS is a solution to a real problem, it's almost always something that people do because they think they need to.

On the other hand, if you really need/want to have internal addresses to access company resources, consider placing them in a separate zone. Something like int.mycompany.com. You have to put these addresses in a separate zone _file_ anyway, why not make it a separate zone? It will reduce complexity for you in the long run.


hth,

Doug
