The only reason to reserve a subdomain with a "free DNS provider" is so
you can have that name visible publically. Below, you indicate that you
don't really need this.

Sounds like your internal machines are using your public dns resolution,
but without your confirmation, that is speculation.

Ok.

Bering supports the use of a public instance of tinydns, in parallel with
a private instance of tinydns. I think you want dnscache installed to
make this work.

Now you introduce some funky dns name, and don't say where you put it.

Don't knowing where you put this line, and you haven't mentioned
restarting tinydns.
