One answer I suppose is to use a hardware router (but I don't want to). I too prefer using FBSD as a software router and DNS server. But, I don't have the extra internal DNS server set up either. Our networked machines can go to each web server on the network via the internal IP, like 192.168.0.xxx. It gets more complicated because of redirects from the routing machine (which is also the external DNS server) to the various web servers on the same network. It loads up the web sites just fine. Or, also I can just step over to a machine with a modem connected to the Internet and go to each one too that way. The above is just another couple of workarounds. I should set up another machine to do the Internal DNS. Are there some good URLs with info on setting up such a server for this and won't interfere with the router and external DNS setups...???
