Subject: Re: systemd-resolved, split dns, & vpn setup
Oh so now I have learned something new.
I thought that because I was a Domain owner, I had to do the translation from my public IP
to my local DNS name
You can do, but you don’t MUST do it.
I to have a split horizon, but updating records at my dns-provider is a rather masochistic
exercise. Besides, it changed hands four times.
in as much as networksolutions.com<http://networksolutions.com>, my domain registrar
provider, has already the IP and host name then
I don't need to provide that so let me trim off that external. zone I'm assuming
that I still need to provide service for the 10.0.0.0 internal addresses, but that could
just be covered by my /etc/hosts file right?
Only if you serve it to a single machine in your lan, /etc/host is a sensible option.
If you have multiple machines in your network, bind remain the ultimate solution (imho).
Besides, hosts is only useful for translating names to numbers and vice-versa. Anything
else: (txt, srv, etc) not possible. So: “viva bind!”
With this new bit of information, I should be able to run a minimal configuration as you
earlier outlined
I was trying to throw in everything plus the kitchen sink. I'll start ripping the
plumbing out of named.conf;
see how little I can get away with.
Once again thanks for your time!!

I'm answering this with a separate response because it goes off in a
different direction. You can decide which way to go without mixing up
all the information together.

In very few cases the primary name server for a public DNS record will
be on a home computer. It'll usually be done where you register your
domain name. Though you can shift it elsewhere. You can renew a
domain name and host it with a different company. You can have a
company host your website, and they can also host your DNS records.
For what it's worth, if they do your mail and website through something
like cpanel, they'll probably want to host your DNS records, too, so
their cpanel software can control any changes the DNS records.
You can run your own slave name server, that follows what the public
one does. This can be handy, but not essential, to keep an eye out for
anything that goes wrong.
If you want to run dynamic DNS, so you can log into your home computer
from somewhere else on the net without having to know your IP, that's a
different thing, again.
But, if you want to be your DNS server for the whole world, they have
to be able to connect to you. Traffic has to be able to get through.
And you will need a fixed IP.
