We have just moved offices and our freebsd machine has started

We have an external router connected as a dhcp server at 192.168.0.2
which apparently has external address ww.xx.yy.zz. I am using a
fixed ip address ie
192.168.0.6
I have this in my rc.conf
defaultrouter="192.168.0.2"
hostname="int.myoffice.com"
ifconfig_em0="inet 192.168.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0"
and have dns mapping int.myoffice.com --> ww.xx.yy.zz,
If you tell the machine that it is int.myoffice.com and you set up DNS
which claims that hostname has an external IP, it will be sad because
it doesn't know how to reach that IP. You can use DNS split-horizon /
views to return the internal IP when the machine asks, or simply keep
your external and internal names separate. Ie, set up DNS like:
int.myoffice.com A 192.168.0.6
ext.myoffice.com A ww.xx.yy.zz
