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 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 www.afp548.com
- Recursion is ON
- Zone transfers are OFF
