[Cialug] Cialug Digest, Vol 101, Issue 11

[Moder John II Lee]

Ok, I think I am missing something very basic here, so please bear with me...

What you are saying is without doing a "Split Horizon" DNS on the OSX box there is no way for me to ping a box on my local network by hostname?

That just doesn't make sense to me.  The OSX box has an A record for the CENTOS1 box, why would godaddy need one for me to ping it on my local network?  I understand if I want to reach the box from the outside that godaddy would need a record, but shouldn't my local DNS be resolved locally when is has the record, and only be forwarded when the record isn't there?
