Thank you for the reply. I may have been over thinking this. My internal DNS will resolve names on the internal net and external net. I think now in the way I have been reading the responses to this thread that I feel better about my understanding of this process. One thing though regarding the hosts file: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 10.192.0.200 windmere.internaldomain.com windmere 208.x.x.x windmere.externaldomain.com windmere Is it bad practice to give the box two FQDNs per network? Would I experience any negative repercussions from approaching the setup in this manner? > > What routes other than those above do you want? The routes were what the box generated itself, I added no further routes. Works fine from what I have tested.
