Setting up Internal DNS server

[Kevin Darcy]

Enter "www.mydomain.com" into the "mydomain.com" zone file, resolving to an
address. In the same zone file, enter "mail.mydomain.com", resolving to some
other address. That's about all you can with BIND or DNS. How clients access
those servers once they discover their addresses, is beyond the scope of
BIND or DNS.
