Assuming your internal DNS servers give an almost instant response (they |
| 8 |
should do on a small LAN), you can put all the servers |
| 9 |
in /etc/resolve.conf, with the internal ones at the top. Then set your |
| 10 |
DHCP options in /etc/conf.d/net to not overwrite /etc/resolv.conf. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Now all you queries should go to the internal servers first. If they |
| 13 |
don't have (and won't forward and cache) external DNS information, the |
| 14 |
resolver will try the next server, the ISP one. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If your internal servers are also connected to the Internet, you may not |
| 17 |
even need an external server. |
