Re: [TCLUG:6445] BIND with topology or sortlist?

[Nate Carlson <natecars@infiniteloop.com>]

* 1st Situation: If you just mean DNS lookups on a machine without BIND *

Easiest way: configure the DNS server on 10.10.0.1 with the proper
hints/root file so it will look on the internet for any domain that it is
not authoritative for.

Harder way: in the resolv.conf, just add both the local DNS server (first)
and the remote one. Once the first DNS server (10.10.0.1) times out when
looking up a remote domain, the second server will be attempted.

* 2nd Situation: If you actually use the local box as a DNS server *
You can configure BIND as a secondary DNS server for company.com, getting
its authoritative data from 10.10.0.1. And then you configure the root
cache file to look out to the internet for any other queries. Not too
hard.

Sorry if I didn't address what you ere actually asking.. need more details
to really know exactly what you want to do.
