silly newbie question

Ahn,

No you won't, as Barry Margolin said in his reply, depending on the size of
the company you could use your ISP's DNS services. If you wanted to do this
on your own then it would be one DNS server (and a secondary if you felt the
need for it).

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

I am trying to learn how DNS works in the Net.  For the sake of argument,
let's suppose there is a LAN connected to the Net through an ISP.  The LAN
has (1) a Web server that serves up html pages to the general public on the
Net and (2) PCs that access the Net with Web browsers.  Now my questions: Do
I need two different DNS servers for (1) and (2)?  Or can I use just one DNS
server for both purposes?

Thanx in advance,
Ahn
