[QUOTE="MacsWork, post: 794540, member: 11094"] First of all,.... 15.x.x.x addressing is not a good idea. There is a reason private ip addressing exists. If you have an internal DNS server which lives on and serves a 15.x.x.x network, it will never resolve internet ip's which are 15.x.x.x. Let's say invution.com or 208.109.255.22 was really 15.109.255.22. Your computers on your LAN that utilize the internal DNS server (your os x server) would never resolve the website. 10.x 172.x and 192.x are private IP networks. Rule #1. Next,... Domain is a funny word. Technically .com is the domain. invution is a sub domain of the .com domain. On an internal network you have more freedom since you control the DNS. You could call your server/network anything as long as the DNS is configured correctly. The reason you can't resolve darwin.invution is because your internal DNS settings on the client are wrong and/or your server is not configured correctly for providing DNS. You've created a new .invution domain that only your server knows about. Configure the server to give out DNS to your internal network will solve the resolution of darwin.invution. The clients will also need 15.0.0.75 as their DNS server in IP settings. However I'd suggest changing to 10. or 172. or 192. networks. Hope you get something out of this,... [/QUOTE]
