Thanks for responding, Mr. Molk. I was hoping to get some idea of what others are doing. I've talked to several that went ahead and used their external FQDN (in my case octech.edu). I'm wondering what the argument would be to do otherwise. Only a few servers will ever be accessed from outside the firewall, and I keep everything behind it along with using ACLs on my router.
