DNS on Linux Server

[AdmnPower]

Ok, I have a question about a linux server I'm running. (RedHat) It's a web server with several internal web pages and a couple of external web pages. Internal meaning they can only be accessed from our computers at our organization while the external web pages can obviously be accessed from anywhere. I need to configure it's DNS in such a way that it knows about our internal domain and such so it can communication with other servers and client computers while still looking to specific static isp provided DNS servers for external DNS lookups. What I'm thinking i need to do is to set it up as a slave name server so that it can learn all its internal domain information from our primary DNS server while still being configured to send DNS requests to external DNS servers. I want external lookups to go straight to the ISP dns servers rather than going through our primary DNS server in the organization.

well i'm not to sure about linux but in windows 2003 you can set something called a "stub zone" that's a copy of another zone but just containing all the name server in that zone.

Is this server running DNS? Do you have a DNS server? If so point your dns on RHEL PC to the DNS server hosting your local dns .. and it will figure it out.

windows .... it can be done with Domain Fowards.

If the webserver is also hosting a DNS server ... with bind i really dont know how .... but it can be done
