[MLB-WIRELESS] Melbwirelses DNS and Domain Names

[nudge]

I like the idea of both having internal and external NS's resolving private
IPs with external (real) names.

I own a domain name and use my internal name server to resolve those names
(some of which map to internal address space), and also forward internet
queries too.  If the above scheme were to be implemented, I would not have
to touch anything and it would work.

Matter of fact, almost no one (apart from those without internet access)
would need to change settings for it to work.  Drawback is, users will need
to be connected to the internet in order to resolve names correctly.

We can step around this by setting up internal NS's as suggested, and users
will put them as their secondary (or tertiary) DNS servers.  If the user is
not connected to the internet, the DNS lookup will fall back to the internal
server, which will then sucesfully resolve the name for them. The lookups
would just be a little slower for them.

The internal NS's would just mirror the records as needed.

Can anyone find holes in this arragement?


Also, I don't think having internal (or fake) names is necessary, they just
aren't as flexible as real domains (aside for the fact that you can make up
cool names).  If you don't want to remember long names, just add it to your
search suffix.  Also, having internal names is pretty much redundant in the
above setup.
