I need to publicate dns names to external access but at the same time I need
that internal computers resolve the local dns domain names to internal ip
add. instead of looking for them outside.

I would to know how to implement Split DNS Configuration? At the same time
I would like to know why some people think that maintenance of this
configuration is tedious and something complex.

Thanks any comments !

Internally ONLY use the internal DNS (this is defacto anyway with an AD
infrastructure).

For access to your externally hosted website with the same name, manually
create a www record and provide the external public IP of the webserver. You
can also delegate the www record and provide the SOA of the external domain
name.

It is administrative overhead. If other records are required, they need to
be manually created. Don't expect to get to your external website without
using the www portion of the URL because to alter that functionality
requires altering the LdapIpAddress that EACH DC registers into DNS. You can
get around that by installing IIS on EACH DC and redirect it to
www.domain.com, then let the manual record or your delegation handle the
rest.

Security wise, it gives outsiders an idea of what you have internally as
well.

If you are having difficulty in reading or finding responses to your post,
instead of the website you are using, I would suggest to use OEx (Outlook
Express or any other newsreader of your choosing), and configure a newsgroup
account, pointing to news.microsoft.com. This is a direct link into the
Microsoft Public Newsgroups, and it is FREE and DOES NOT require a Usenet
account with your ISP. With OEx , you can easily find your post and watch &
track threads, sort by date, poster's name, watched threads or subject.

Not sure how? It's easy and you'll enjoy it
