Question setting up dns

[Roberti]

Hello all,

I'm setting up a DNS server for my company but I'm running into some questions. I want to internaly be able to resolve our servers with their non-routable addresses, like the fileserver (10.4.0.4). Those dns entry's should not be viewable for the outside world. We also host our own website and mailserver, wich have external addresses (192.87.23.148). These should be viewable. I'm using FreeBSD and Bind 9. I can use only one server, so split dns on two servers is not possible. I also tried the 'view' statement in the named.conf file, my reverse dns doesn't work then. Does anybody have any tips? If you require more information just ask.

Roberti.

I think that your only option here is to use 'views'. What problem does this cause you with reverse DNS?

Well, the reverse lookup of the internal servers work, but not from the dns server or the external servers. it says something like non-existing domain.

Is the reverse zone for the live routable IP range delegated to your DNS server or the ISPs?

It's delegated to my DNS server. But only since last friday, so it could be that it wasn't picked up yet by the rest of the world.

Sounds more than likely. As long as you have outside and inside views for both the domain name and the reverse zone then you should be fine.
