So reverse hosting IS reverse DNS?
Yes, AKA: "reverse DNS lookup"
Would this cause a problem having two DNS servers on a network?
Nope. -- Thomas Adam

Reverse Hosting
Can anyone tell me what this is please (does it go under a different name?), and maybe how I do it?
I have a proxy that I now want to put in series with our router. We have 512 public addresses. We want to make the internal network private but our email server (Imail) uses a public address and will be behind the proxy. The helpful chap at RM said "you want reverse hosting on your squid box" - cant find anything about it.
Kind regards Adrian Wells
