Re: DNS woes...

["Tim Currie" <tim algernonsystems com>]

Sorry, Angel, if this answer sounds really stupid, maybe I don't
understand the question, but... you could try editing the zone file,
right?
Change

24.61.130.101     myserver

to

172.16.1.1        myserver

..or have I totally missed your point? Or maybe use an internal name: my
web server (from the inside) is rat; from the outside it's called pinky.
My zone file looks like this:
;
; Zone file for algernonsystems.com
;
$TTL 3D
@       IN      SOA     ns1.algernonsystems.com.
hostmaster.algernonsystems.com. (                        200308291

So, say I need to restart apache: when I'm at home I can "ssh rat", but
when I'm at work or somewhere else outside my network I just ssh to rat by
doing "ssh pinky.algernonsystems.com".
