I have a domain, charlescurley.com, with its name, etc. served by domain name servers out there on the net somewhere. I also have my local area network, with machines like foo, bar, and baz. The network is NATted and not visible outside of the firewall.
I currently use the TLD "localdomain" for the LAN, so resolv.conf looks like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# cat resolv.conf search localdomain nameserver 192.168.1.3 nameserver 192.168.1.4 I set up an experimental server on a test machine which has the domain "charlescurley.com" and is authoritative for it. Since it is on the LAN, only machines on the LAN can see it or use it. I have local machines working correctly, e.g. foo.charlescurley.com resolves correctly. Its resolv.conf looks like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/named/etc/sites# cat /etc/resolv.conf search charlescurley.com nameserver 192.168.1.47 The local machines are on 192.168.1.0/24, but the server for charlescurley.com isn't. The question is, how do I get the local name server to correctly serve up "charlescurley.com" (and "www.charlescurley.com", an alias for charlescurley.com) to the local network. I already know I can stick it in /etc/hosts, but that has all the problems that using /etc/hosts normally has. I'd like to do it with bind.
