I have read the (very wonderfull) Best Practices: DNS Guide and followed the recommendations of NOT using a fake domain name for my LAN (that is behind a NAT router using one public IP adress) and 99% of the DNS stuff works as I expect.
I am also fully aware of the terminology that makes it easy for my laptop to resolve whatever.example.com to my public IP when I am on the road and to my private IP when I am home on the LAN.
The one thing I am NOT able to get to work is how to be able to visit my website from my LAN using ONLY example.com in stead of http://www.example.com
If the latter was the case I could just create an record for the host “www” and point it to my public IP address, but that is NOT what I want…
Facts:
– I am using 10.4.2 Server
– I have (via CLI) working forwarding option so I am able to resolve external domain names EG. afp548.com AND http://www.afp548.com
– Recursion is ON
– Zone transfers are OFF
