Hello,

I am trying to find some information that I already believe to be
true.

I belive: You shouldn't configure a DNS, that answers queries to the
internet, with a host that will point to a private address.


Our engineering department wants me to do the following:

host      IN       A     192.168.99.154

on a nameserver that answers queries to the internet.


I feel this is wrong, I think this is not allowed, but I can not find
the RFC, book, internet article that will support my claim. My google-
foo has failed me. Can anyone lend a helping hand, or if someone can
lead me to documentation that says it is ok to do so would also be
helpful.

Best Regards,
Roger Murray
