I think I do. > I use "mycompany.com" both internally and externally ... That's exactly what I mean. You've got a zone on your internal nameservers, and those nameservers are not delegated from the parent zone (the <com.> TLD, in this case). > It just takes some static entries. Which is where people have trouble. Most people don't understand this stuff, or don't appreciate the implications, or just plain forget. Better to avoid that. Plus, it creates two zones with the same name and different data, which can really confuse both people and software when you're dealing with scenarios where youcan see both, such as for laptops and/or VPNs. Plus, if you can get away with *not* going through the effort of keeping the two zones in sync, why wouldn't you want to? Even if it's just small work, small work is still more work than no work at all. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
