[SOLVED]DNS best practice?

tbrandl

There are two ways to configure DNS:

One way:
- Allowing DNS outgoing for your internal nameservers
- internal nameservers forwarding to ISP-DNS
- ASG pointing to internal nameservers 

Another way:
- ASG forwarding to ISP-nameservers
- "request routing" on ASG for internal domain pointing to internal nameservers
- internal nameservers forwarding to ASG
 
Which way do you use? And why? Which is "officially preferred"?
Both configurations seem working good for me, we run the first alternative on our cluster, the second in branch offices without internal dns (domain dns reachable via site2site-vpn).

Thanks for your ideas!
Thomas

    You should not disable recursion in virtually any environment where a UTM is used.

    Hi Bob,

    I have read your DNS best practics but this part was not clear to me.

    In your opinion what would you recommend for a network design using domainname.com or domainname.local internally. Provided that you own domainname.com

    To be clear I understand that the UTM will use UTMhostname.domainname.com that is a public resolvable FQDN.

    My question is about the internal network devices like server1.domainname.?
