sampathome.ca is the internal zone on my side of the firewall that I defined. It is not registered anywhere. The reason that I want to have a DNS server is that I have many machines in my network that could be turned on sometimes but not always. THe DNS server would just need to be configured rather than update hosts files whenever a machine is added. My Dlink router is the DHCP server so it handles which ever devices that I do not want to remotely access with fixed IPs.
