<div>Setup:</div><div>I have a domain example.com that is hosted on DNS under control of my internet provider.</div><div>Web server www.example.com is hosted by another company.</div><div>I have setup a local DNS for computers on my LAN. I have a LDAP server on LAN.</div><div><br></div><div>Question:</div><div>I want to make LDAP visible only for computers on LAN without altering DNS (of the internet provider).</div><div>The name of LDAP server should be ldap.example.com. Is it possible to do it?</div><div><br></div><div>I can think of two solutions:</div><div>1) I could create master zone for example.com on DNS (on LAN). This way I have to create A record for www.example.com,</div><div>but if internet provider changed ip address of the web-server, computers on lan would not reach</div><div>www.example.com and I would have to update A record on local DNS.</div><div><br></div><div>2) Another solution is to create zonefile for subdomain local.example.com on LAN DNS, so ldap.local.example.com.</div><div>But this is not exactly what I want.</div><div><br></div><div>What is the correct solution?</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you</div> <br /><hr />Windows Live: <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/social-network-basics.aspx?ocid=PID23461::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-xm:SI_SB_3:092010' target='_new'>Friends get your Flickr, Yelp, and Digg updates when they e-mail you.</a></body>
