[Fwd: Re: Hostnames on an internal subnet that also resolve in public DNS]

[Ken Lyons - Graphix Wizard/Data-Forms]

I just run two DNS servers, (two running copies of maradns), one for 
public and one private resolving.
I setup the server to have two Internal network addresses, i.e.  
10.x.x.10  (53) = public DNS resolv
10.x.x.11 (53) = private DNS resolv
And use the firewall to route who gets what... 
all WAN side request go to public and all LAN side go to private
(or just setup local computers to go directly to the private dns address)
