This isn't strictly a Gentoo question, but I'm setting up Gentoo box to be |
| 2 |
used as a secondary DNS server, plus some other duties, and I'm hoping there |
| 3 |
is a DNS wizard reading who can authoritatively answer my question. |

|

First off the machine has three network cards, one with a (DHCP) private IP |
| 6 |
(10.10.32.1) for talking to the local (Windows Domain) LAN. A second NIC |
| 7 |
with a (Manually configured) IP address (69.12.134.79) that is publicly |
| 8 |
registered (ns.debug1.com) as a secondary DNS for several domains. And the |
| 9 |
third NIC has a (Manually configured) private IP address (192.168.0.1) that |
| 10 |
will be used to "sniff" all traffic that crosses the DSL modem. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Obviously on a given system each NIC is usually connected to a different |
| 13 |
domain, my question is, whether or not it is /legal/possible/okay to use |
| 14 |
different *hostnames* on different NICs? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
For example, in the scenario described above, assume the windows domain is |
| 17 |
named "mydomain.lan," can I have 69.12.134.79 (NIC #2) resolve to |
| 18 |
ns.debug1.com as that is it's publicly registered name, while IP address |
| 19 |
10.10.32.1 (NIC #1) resolves to gentoo.mydomain.lan? |
