DNS scenario

Here is my situation: I have a firewall that NATs a web server, and from the outside world it is great. My internal users cannot hit the outside address, they must use the internal IP. Unfortunately the device is not in the hosts files of my workstations. I tried to set it up in my internal DNS but it isn't resolving.

My internal DNS zone is "inside.myorg.org" so a workstation would be something like D220_User.inside.myorg.org.

The web server would be "servername.myorg.org" but must resolve internally to a 192.168 address instead of the real world address.

I tried setting up a "myorg.org" zone and added the A record but it did not seem to work. Any suggestions?
 
That's pretty normal to have internal for privately resolving addresses and external for public ones. Our network is setup like that and most companies we work with have similar configurations.

I'm confused as to your 'inside.myorg.org'. I would expect something like 'myorg.org" with an A record for servername.myorg.org.

As it turns out, I did it all correctly. It started working after about 15 minutes, so I think I needed to wait for NDS replication.

Thanks for the response.
