Hi Joseph,

The DNS comment was just sort of a "oh, by the way", in that if you have
servers on the DMZ that need to resolve either DMZ host names or
published servers on the internal network, you can put that DNS server
on the internal network and publish it. That's how I usually handle
things when doing the split DNS thing.

Outbound VPN access should not require the same setup, as you can use
the PPTP passthrough feature to access external VPN servers. IIRC, the
double NAT doesn't cause too much of a problem ;-)

HTH,
Tom

Hi Thomas,

I've been re-reading the VPN in a back to back setting and have a
question
about the following statement and how it applies to DNS.

http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Configuring_VPN_Access_in_a_Back_to_B
ack_
ISA_Server_Environment.html
"One other thing you might want to do is configure a DNS server
publishing
rule on the internal ISA Server, if you wish the DMZ hosts to use a DNS
server on your internal network. This is not required by the back to
back
ISA Server VPN configuration, but it's something you should think
about."  

I'm not sure if you meant that it is a good thing to publish the DNS
server
on the internal network or not and just looking for clarification on
that
issue. Also, would this be the same setup to VPN out through the back to
back setup?  From my internal network through the internal firewall
through
the dmz and out through the external vpn?  


Thank you,
Joseph
