I think there are quite a few routers that will direct the outbound traffic back in, in this fashion. Basically if they are proper routers, they will spot the outbound packet is destined for an internal IP address, and route it inwards. But it does mean the traffic hits the router, rather than staying on the internal network. However to not rely on the feature as Rob suggests just create a private view of the DNS with the internal IP address of the server for those domain. You can do that with any DNS serving software. BIND 9 is boring and bog standard but combines recursive and authoritative DNS in one server, which in this specific case is an advantage (usually it is a really bad idea, but if you are only serving internal clients it is safe enough to combine the roles like this). -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
