Dns & Cname


Here is the thing... Mite seem a lilttle confusing but here it is.
i have a DNS server hosted by Hurricane Electric.

so server.mydomain.com resolves to the WAN IP address of my home internet connection say
200.200.200.200

recenly i set up a local DNS at my home { mainly for resolving internal machines }

the domain is <machine>.hme.mydomain.com
it works fine. { The Hurricane Name server has no information about my home DNS Server. }

What i want here is that if i am at home and using the internal DNS server
it should resolve server.mydomain.com to my internal IP address & not the WAN IP addresses.

But that is not the behaviour i got ..

so if i say server.hme.mydomain.com it does resolve to
the internal ip of 192.168.0.5

& server.mydomain.com resolves to 200.200.200.200.

i added a CNAME entry in my zone file. & a PTR entry in the reverse file but it doesnt seem to work.. any clues..

Zone File :

server.hme.mydomain.com IN 1H A 192.168.0.5
server.mydomain.com IN 1H CNAME server.hme.netenrich.com

Reverse :
5 PTR server.hme.mydomain.com.
5 PTR server.mydomain.com.


Is there any way i can get this done .. ?

I don't think you want to set up a subdomain here. Just resolve all your 192.168.0.x machines in your zone file and have one entry with a unique name for your external interface.
