Split DNS is simple for the most part so I don't know why people make is so complicated by publishing screens and screens of text. Basically you have your internal DNS which like you said works fine. Then you have your external DNS which your ISP or domain name provider manages/ or allows you to manage. All you really have to do is match your internal with your external. Example; exchange.server.com internally points to your exchange box, while on the internet it points to the external IP of your ISA server so that when you are at home or out on the road and were to ping exchange.server.com from another source it would respond with your companies external IP address (not the internal one).

They seem to all tie back to using multiple ISPs on the ISA server. The Internal DNS resolution seems to be working fine. A lot of e-mail servers are now doing reverse DNS lookups before accepting a message, so I need to have that name resolved correctly. Hopefully a Split DNS will solve that for me. Also, this morning I was notified of incoming mail being rejected also with an "unrouteable address" error. While I think is most likely a problem with the sender's SMTP server, I can't be 100% certain. If I can get an authoritative DNS server in here that we can control, it will allow us a lot more flexibility. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harrison [mailto:Jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, April 25, 2005 09:52 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Split DNS Questions... http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Dan, Split DNS isn't an ISA question. The core issue is how you configure DNS internally. ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
