i've got DNS running. i highly recommend it. everybody ought to
run their own. it's not just a good idea, ....
my question is,
www.debian-o-rama.tld
is a hypothetical, publicly-available server address, which also
acts as a firewall for my home lan.
within the home lan i've got
192.168.1.1 -> eth1 (where eth0 serves the public above)
192.168.1.2 -> another debian monster
192.168.1.100 -> mac
192.168.1.200 -> win98
would it be good to use DNS/NAMED/BIND to treat the intra-lan
portion as
internal.debian-o-rama.tld = 192.168.1.1
monster.debian-o-rama.tld = 192.168.1.2
mac.debian-o-rama.tld = 192.168.1.100
win.debian-o-rama.tld = 192.168.1.200
or is it preferable to create a whole separate name space for the
lan items, such as
internal.mylan = 192.168.1.1
monster.mylan = 192.168.1.2
mac.mylan = 192.168.1.100
win.mylan = 192.168.1.200
and can you give an example or two on how to use /etc/bind/* to
set that up? (all my attempts give dlint conniptions, though
things seem to work-though-they-wobble, with exceptions.)
