DNS server in DMZ

Hi Experts,

I can't wrap my head around how a DNS server will work in the DMZ. I currently have a 3 legged network running off a Cisco 515E PIX. I have setup DMZ and internal DNS on a host. This host is not part of the domain and has its own DNS. I can curently access the host (Windows 2003 SP2) in the DMZ from the domain by internal IP and RDP to it. I have it static the IP address of the host to a public IP. My question is how will the world access it if I put our webserver on that host?

We use godaddy.com for our domain name, I can't add this host to godaddy because the machine in the DMZ is not part of the domain. Do I need to register another domain for the host in the DMZ?

TIA

Thanks for getting back clearacid

In answer to your first question we handle our own DNS and static it to a public IP address. I can get to the external IP public address from outside the domain by putting in an IP address. When I try to get my www onto it, it cannot resolve it.

For the second post:
1. This is done
2. I will add this
3. I am stuck on this one as my host in dmz has a hostname dcsrv02.dmz and I can't add this to godaddy as it needs a host ending in mydomain.name. What kind of domain do I add this host in DMZ to? WIll it be mydomain.com if not do I need to add a new domain name? This is where I am getting stuck at.

Thanks

Whatwe did was put the external IP address of the DMZ DNS in our internal DNS and I added that IP address as a Name Server on external DNS provider. This worked. Thanks for all your help.
