I am setting up a linux firewall router which runs a DNS server. This is my first time so be gentle.
The router will service a LAN on 192.168.1.*. Here is my question. Naturally the router sits on an established subnet and has an IP. The subnet is bsd.uchicago.edu (128.135.97.*). I am trying to figure out what the domain of the LAN clients should be (ie, the 192.168.1.* machines). Should they be in a subdomain of bsd.uchicago.edu (eg milton.bsd.uchicago.edu), can they be anything at all (eg, paradise.lost) since the outside world will never see them? If they have their own subdomain (milton.bsd.uchicago.edu for the sake of argument), then they will be on a different domain than the router/DNS server, right? Since the DNS server is in the domain bsd.uchicago.edu.... Clarifications welcome. Thanks, John Hunter
