Hello all, I have a questions that I just cannot get my brain around. I have a home network and use FreeBSD as my firewall using IPFW. It is also my internal DNS server, handling name resolution for inside the network and passing requests to the internet. I have my own domain, and use a free DNS service to point to my static IP from the outside. But as of late, the DNS service has come under DOS attack. So, if I want to host my own DNS records, so that people on the outside get my static, routable internet IP address, plus my reverse DNS record, can I still have the DNS service serve my internal requests? Can you have an A record point to the same machine, yet list two different IP addresses? Or do I need to move my internal DNS to another system to serve the inside? Please help, brain in knots over this one. Thanks, RC __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com
