If I have two domains pointing to the same machine, but one resolves to an internal address and the other to my internet facing router, will there be any differnce in route taken to my machine (primarily in terms of performanc).
eg.
internal.mydomain.com resolves to 192.168.1.200
external.mydomain.com resolves to A.Web.External.IP
both eventually resolve back to the same machine. For a client in the network, will using the external address give a performance penalty?
Easy if you run your own DNS server inside the network... Impossible if it's someone else's DNS server... – Majenko – 2011-02-27T13:35:51.247
1You can also provide your own caching DNS server(s) to provide split DNS functionality if the external server is not on your network. I user
dnsmasq
to do so. – BillThor – 2011-02-27T17:02:13.103
