Internal to external DNS issues
Hi everyone, I'm trying to get my head around this issue - I would like to be able to put "http://domain.com" into a web browser and have it resolve to "http://www.domain.com" but currently it does not INSIDE my network... outside my network it does.
Internally my servers host mail.domain.com and helpdesk.domain.com, but we use an external web host for www.domain.com
Here's my domain.com.zone file:
$TTL 14400
domain.com. IN SOA password.domain.com. postmaster.domain.com. (
2007112027 ; serial
3h ; refresh
1h ; retry
1w ; expiry
1h ) ; minimum
domain.com. IN NS password.domain.com.
domain.com. IN NS password2.domain.com.
domain.com. IN NS ca1.ny.towerstream.com.
domain.com. IN NS ca2.ny.towerstream.com.
domain.com. IN A 10.0.1.11
password IN A 10.0.1.11
ldap IN CNAME password
powerschool IN A 10.0.1.6
password2 IN A 10.0.1.12
ms IN A 10.0.1.14
hs IN A 10.0.1.15
library IN A 10.0.1.2
helpdesk IN A 10.0.1.101
es IN A 10.0.1.13
www IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
mail IN A 10.0.1.111
domain.com. IN MX 0 mail
retrospect IN A 10.0.1.200
On suggestions from users at the Apple discussion forums, I tried modifying line 11 (domain.com IN A 10.0.1.11) to say
domain.com. IN CNAME www.domain.com.
but when I made that change, I could no longer reach my INTERNALLY hosted "mail.domain.com" and "helpdesk.domain.com" sites.
Does anyone have any suggestions for things I might try here? I would really appreciate the help
Running 10.4.10 on this server (though I don't know if that matters much for DNS), the box is also running DHCP and is OD Master for my network (using network home directories, homes on three separate servers).
thx
