    Hi folks,

    I have set up our xServe DNS correctly, I believe, per instructions in Peachpit Press book, and can do both forward and reverse lookups from the server correctly.

    I believe also our DNS MX and A records hosted by godaddy.com are correct, as they correctly route both web and email to our xServe.

    However, inside our LAN we cannot resolve to our outside domain name example.com. We can resolve our FQDN xserve.example.com.

    Adding CNAME records to our existing zone does not work, as it prevents the forward and reverse resolution from working correctly.

    Can someone please explain what I can do to make this work?

    Many thanks!

    What I’m trying to do is be able to reach both our mail and website without using the FQDM. In other words, I can only reach our mail and web by using xserve.example.com.

    Also, according to dnsreport.com, my mail server 1) does not have “Reverse DNS entries for MX records”, and 2) “could not conect to my mail server without glue or A record”

    Any ideas?

    Are you using 1 to 1 NAT for your xserve?
