LAN name server

[linux_lackey]

My Linux box has two NIC cards. One for the Internet, the other for my intranet. The problem is when I do an nslookup for my domain, from within my LAN I get *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.1: Non-existent domain. The external lookup works fine.

I understand what the error is telling me but I am not sure if the internal IP should be a part of the mydomain.com zone file OR be it's own zone, OR maybe neither.

You need a PTR record in the 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain, for the "1" host, that points at the hostname of the box that is 192.168.1.1.

Let me guess -- you're using nslookup on a Windows box? It insists on having a reverse DNS entry for its nameserver (dig, which is the domain lookup tool that comes with bind, does not require this, and neither do any RFC's that I've read).

Got it, thx...
