On a very small network I would like to configure the local network and internet access to coexist peacefully. For this I have given the local part of the network its own domain name, so that a typical machine on the network, for example, is known as "machine1.mydomain.org". One of the computers on this network uses ppp to dial up to an ISP whose domain name is, say, isp.com. In order to access the ISP, I have also configured ppp to the ISP's DNS settings and domain name.
Now I can either access the internet through ppp or access the local network through eth0 but cannot do both. The problem seems to be the conflicting domain names. The obvious solution is to change the local network domain name to the isp's domain name so that a typical machine on the network is now called machine1.isp.com instead of machine1.mydomain.org. But if I don't want to do this is there a way however that both domain names can coexist on the same network without conflict?
