I understand much better now. I will try your suggestions tomorrow and report back.
So the DMZ domain should NOT match the internet domain since the name itself ti 
registered at dnsexit.
I take it then that the domain on the dmz could be kroffts.dmz as well as anything 
else I  could choose to call it. But since the subnets are different, it should not be 
the same as the private lan?
