We have a registered domain that we use for e-mail. I want e-mail send
from the intranet to go to the server and be processed without triggering
our internet link (dial on demand), but don't want to be a master dns for
the domain name since the web site and stuff has a real internet addresses
and is contorled by other people. I just want to have hearingsociety.org
have a local MX record and all other dns requests handled by the
forwarders.
I currently have in my domain.hosts:
@ IN SOA hearing.org. server.hearing.org. (
1997080600 ; serial number
10800 ; refresh rate (3 hours)
1800 ; retry (30 minutes)
1209600 ; expire (2 weeks)
604800 ) ; minium (1 week)
MX 5 server.hearing.org.
NS server.hearing.org.
# NS hearing.org.
hearingsociety.org. MX 3 server.hearing.org.
server A 192.168.1.1
finance A 192.168.1.211
giving hearingsociety.org a MX record; however, since in /etc/named.conf,
domain.hosts is only in the zone for hearing.org
zone "hearing.org" {
type master;
file "domain.hosts";
};
This works, but when our internet access stopped, local mail would not get
delivered I think because the dns lookup somehow needed outside access to
resolve the MX on hearingsociety.org -- when I shut down named and added a
line to the /etc/hosts it fixed the problem, but that messes up website
dns lookups.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben
