This isn't strictly a Gentoo question, but I'm setting up Gentoo box to be used as a secondary DNS server, plus some other duties, and I'm hoping there is a DNS wizard reading who can authoritatively answer my question.
First off the machine has three network cards, one with a (DHCP) private IP (10.10.32.1) for talking to the local (Windows Domain) LAN. A second NIC with a (Manually configured) IP address (69.12.134.79) that is publicly registered (ns.debug1.com) as a secondary DNS for several domains. And the third NIC has a (Manually configured) private IP address (192.168.0.1) that will be used to "sniff" all traffic that crosses the DSL modem. Obviously on a given system each NIC is usually connected to a different domain, my question is, whether or not it is /legal/possible/okay to use different *hostnames* on different NICs? For example, in the scenario described above, assume the windows domain is named "mydomain.lan," can I have 69.12.134.79 (NIC #2) resolve to ns.debug1.com as that is it's publicly registered name, while IP address 10.10.32.1 (NIC #1) resolves to gentoo.mydomain.lan?
