Just to add to Jeff's comments, if you need separate addresses returned by the DNS server depending on whether the request came from an internal or external client, you might want to look at ISC Bind's (ver 9+) "view" directive. Let's say your customer's webserver (www.foo.com) has the address 192.168.0.80 but it's external (internet static IP via NAT) is 1.2.3.4. You probably want internal users to have www.foo.com resolve to 192.168.0.80 but external users resolve to 1.2.3.4. ISC Bind's "view" will allow you to do this with a single config file and single named daemon - and it's actually quite simple to do. Have a look at the bind 9 admin reference: http://www.nominum.com/content/documents/bind9arm.pdf specifically sections 6.2.19 and 6.2.20 (page 80). HTH, James -- Weekend, where are you?
