I'm not sure if I understand your DNS setup. But, if you don't want it
to dial in, you need to make sure that you have a local DNS server that
contains all of your local DNS information. Then you need to make sure
that each of the machines is configured to use the local DNS server and
that the search suffixes (or whatever their called) are set to your
local domain(s). You don't need to use the IP address that you ISP
gives you when you dial in. However, if the domain name that the ISP
uses for your IP address is different than what the local DNS server
thinks your machine is called, if you use the ISP's domain name, it
will dial out to get the IP address, even though it really is referring
to the local machine.
For example, I have a local domain - the-taylors.net. It's not
official, but it works for my little home network. I also have a
static IP that is assigned to my gateway machine. I have set up a web
server, mail server, etc., on the gateway machine, and it thinks it's
called what the ISP calls it. That is, the ISP has a fully qualified
domain name associated with my static IP address that allows the rest
of the world to find it. In my local DNS setup, though, I have
everything setup for the-taylors.net, and have assigned a different IP
address to my ethernet port and have given it a different name than the
ISP uses. My local machines are all setup to only use the gateway
machine for DNS info, and I have it setup to search the-taylors.net, so
that I can just type in a machine name without having to type in the
whole domain name. When I want to get to my web server from inside the
firewall, I go to www.the-taylors.net. My DNS server recognizes that
and passes back the local IP address of my gateway machine. Now if I
go to the address that my ISP gave me, the DNS server doesn't know
about that, so it dials out so that it can essentially get it's own IP
address, which is useless.
Well, does that make sense at all? Anyway, my guess is that your
problem is just a configuration problem somewhere in there. Like I
say, mine works, and if you configure it similar to mine, yours
probably ought to work as well.
Good luck,
Lyle
