I am having trouble sending mail locally on the intranet when our internet connection fails.
Lets pretend the internet domain for work is work-internet.com and the lan login domain is work-lan.com on win2k servers and we run internal DNS. On our internal dns I have 2 Forward Lookup Zones. 1] is work-lan.com and 2] is work-internet.com. I have setup hosts like www, mail , and others on the work-internet.com zone to reflect the ip of the local lan server, and when I ping - ping work-internet.com it comes back with the lan ip like it should, yet for some reason outlook will not send to local users on the lan when the internet is down and it also will not telnet work-internet.com 25 unless the internet connection from the isp is up. This posses a problem for me. I want to be able to send mail to other [EMAIL PROTECTED] if our connection ever goes down for any lenght of time. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
