From: "Carl Johnstone" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Our sysadmin told me that this way is better because we won't make
traffic (and slow down) on the public network interface.
Marginal, you'd need to be doing *a lot* of data transfer. I think our
data transfer at our ISP maxes out at around 12Mbps on an average lunch
time - well below the 100Mpbs a poor network can do.
I don't think the data transfer is a bottleneck, but he configured the
network that way, and I need to make the app work in these conditions.
And he also told me that he cannot assign a single domain name that
points to 2 different IP addresses, because we have a single DNS. He told
that yes, if we would have 2 DNS, he could make one work for the intranet
and one for the internet access, but it is not the case.
Use HOSTS files on the local machines to override the DNS IP?
I've done that on my computer, but the other users are stock exchange
brokers, not IT specialists, and they might not like to need making strange
settings in text files on their computers.
