Okay, so I try this: 1. The Gateway try to resolve every Name by the Internal DNS-Server. 2. Internal names will be found. 3. If nothing is found, the Internal DNS-Server will forward the question to a DNS-Server running on the Gateway. 4. The DNS-Server running on the Gateway forward every question to the Providers DNS-Server.
It seems to be a long way. What about the performance???
Usually your internal DNS server should cache the RRs, and keep in mind that clients query forwarders of the ISP usually. Alternatively you can allow your internal DNS-server to do recursive queries be itself, but then you have to allow the whole net to send packets to the domain port of your internal server, so I would prefer to forward all queries to an ISP DNS server. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
