DNS

I read to not expose your internal DNS service to the internet as this will expose information that shouldn't be public.  Is this accomplished by using DNS Forwarders (ISP) and setting up your internal domain to use mydomain.local?

It's done thru public IP address (your isp will provide to you) and a DNS register. You will also need to setup NAT's on your firewall to pass thru the public ip address's to your private network.

Example:

your domain is catco.com. Your ISP give's you a public ip address of 123.123.123.123. You register your domain name (catco.com) with a DNS register. You then setup a NAT on your firewall...123.123.123.123 to pass thru your firewall to 10.x.x.x.(your private network). This is just a quick and dirty (I'm short on time).

Thank you for the clarification...  I was getting confused after reading some other posts.  I don't host my own public records.  I only NAT the public to private at the firewall for mail or www.



not a problem
