RE: Domain Name routing

Justin,

I would imagine that your firewall is blocking you.  If you resolve to
other web sites, but not your own, then odds are the firewall is not
allowing packets into your network from the internet when they have an
originating address inside the firewall.  This is a hacking kind of
thing (address spoofing) which firewalls try to prevent.

If you had an internal DNS, you could use the local IP address for your
web server.  If this is the only reason for putting in a DNS, you might
find it easier to just use a host table entry.  I would not suggest
loosening up your firewall.

Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
