Hello everyone,

From browsing the posting around here, most would suggested using different
name for internal and external.
I just wonder if anyone knows of a link to a good source of explanation
regarding the domain name? the place I work for is a tiny company using SBS
4.5, and now I have a wonderful job of setting up Windows 2003, and
boy....is it ever difficult especially when it comes to DNS & Active
Directory...

Thanks
TT

Choosing an internal name is 100% personal preference, I suggest that if you
do not fully understand the repercussions of using the same internal name as
your external name then you should not.
I suggest you use a different internal name, you can use anything like
lan.mycompany.com or mycompany.lan, or .local, .corp, or .anything. The
important thing is DO NOT use mycompany without a ".something" after your
name.

So Scott, you just said it's your personal preference to make them
different! So it is a personal preference!
