On 3, when you say internal, what where are you referring to? Should I have been more clear that subnet 2 connects to the outside world on it's own, it's not an "internal network". My 2nd nic is simply another machine on an existing network. That said I don't understand the DNS issue considering I currently get to either nic in testing by IP address and it still behaves the same way. Also I don't have control over the real DNS server that points the outside world to our webserver.(Not sure if that matters, since I clearly only partially understand this stuff) 4 - this solution means turning off the 2nd nic and essentially bridging the networks?
