Ok, I appreciate what you have done here. I have one question. All of the other install docs I have seen are indicating that I have to have my external DNS set up, and then they also are going through the added effort of installing DNSmansq. At that time they are configuring a private IP and DNS entry as well. Is that necessary? I don't think it should be needed. Please let me know. Thanks
I think the problem comes into play like this with my previous question. If I attempt to ping the A record and I query my authoritative DNS server which is on Godayaddy like yours then I will be pointed back to the public interface of my firewall. THis will cause a significant issue in that my Firewall will see that I am from the inside and try to ping from the outside. This often is seen as a spoof attack. Hence the solution will fail. This is why I need DNSmansq. Please advise with your thoughts.
