Search Again: Re: DNS Help From: Jeff Folk Date: Friday, June 1, 2001 Time: 8:01:39 pm I do this on my network. What you want to do is make: Outside DNS server: turners.com. SOA this dns server IP number turners.com. A website IP number turners.com. MX corp.turners.com corp.turners.com. A My DSL line IP number www.turners.com CNAME turners.com. mail.turners.com. A 192.168.168.15 Set up the LAN workstations behind the NAT router to access mail.turners.com as their POP and SMTP servers. It resolves to a private IP for everybody, but only works for your network. AND, you don't have to fuss with two different zone files. I hope this helps; Jeff on 6/1/01 8:49 PM, Jeff Grossman wisely articulated: > I have a question. My domain is hosted offsite with the DNS servers.
