DNS Sample External Domain Zone file
This file shows only hosts (services) which are externally (publicly) visible and may be used with a views 'View based Authoritative Only' server or in a 'public' server in a Stealth configuration - all internal hosts are excluded. The internal view version is here. The configuration provides:
- Two name servers are used one internal (ns1) and one external (ns2) to the domain
- The mail service is external to the domain (provided by a third party)
- FTP and WWW services are provided by the same host
- The host addresses are all in the class C private address range 192.168.0.0 (a slightly artificial case)
The Resource Records are all defined separately.
