Internal Internal Internal. Otherwise Internal.

You want IBM i to see the same internal name resolution as all other servers in your network.

If you use the same domain name inside as outside then responses from the public DNS will be flatly wrong as they will report public IP addresses not private ones. (e.g. if your public domain name is yourcompany.com and you also use that for servers in your data center.)

If you use yourcompany.com externally and yourcompany.someothertld internally you also never want your system to fall back to an external DNS server or you would get NO resolution to anythingatall.yourcompany.somethertld.

Either is bad, one returns a lie, the other returns nothing.

All,

What are your IBM i machines using? We're using 1 internal (192.168.0.230)
and 2 external we got from Comcast many moons ago: 68.87.72.130 and
68.87.77.130.

I'm wondering if there are better ones to use than these 2 Comcast
addresses.

Thanks.
