[ale] another DNS question...

[John Wells]

I'm trying to get a machine set up that has two NICs,
one to internal network and one to external network. 
I want to be able to use the internal net's DNS server
to resolve internal DNS queries, and the external
net's DNS server to resolve external queries.  The
internal net's domain is testdomain.com.

So, if I set up /etc/resolv.conf to be:

search testdomain.com
nameserver 198.153.233.8 ;internal 
nameserver 38.2.3.4 ; external
nameserver 38.2.3.5 ; external

Hosts resolve on the internal net but not on the
external one.

If I set up /etc/resolv.conf to be:

search testdomain.com
nameserver 38.2.3.4 ; external
nameserver 38.2.3.5 ; external
nameserver 198.153.233.8 ;internal 

then hosts resolve on the external (ex.
www.slashdot.org) but not the internal.

Is there no way to have both resolve?  Will I have to
change the internal server to provide information on
external hosts?  I've tried a number of different
configuration but can't seem to get one to work.

Thanks in advance,
John
