Hi Suresh and others, If my m/c (10.20.254.120) which is connected to the internet has to resolve internet addresses, shouldn't my resolv.conf look like this:
nameserver 203.197.236.4 And, if that same m/c has to query the internal DNS, the resolv.conf will be search egenisys.com nameserver 203.197.236.4 // Internet DNS nameserver 10.20.254.101 // Local DNS Then, if I ping intranet.egenisys.com (which can be resolved by the local DNS) from this m/c, a) it would query the internet DNS which would return a "Host not found" b) it would not proceed to query the secondary nameserver 10.20.254.101 which can resolve intranet.egenisys.com How do I make sure that the .120 m/c queries both the Internet NS and my local NS when doing a lookup, so that it can resolve both Internet and local addresses? Hope this is not a silly question. Almost seems like there is an obvious answer, but I'm not getting it!!
