Hi John.

How about putting a DNS Server at your Hub office and just pointing the branch
offices to it?

Guys and Gals,

how would you tackle this?

Hub office = New Orleans
Spoke offices = all over the place

Remote offices connect to New Orleans via Point to Point T1s, and have
internet backup.

I don't want to put DNS servers in the remote offices, and I don't want
to pass DNS traffic over the T1s. If the T1s go down, I want my users
to access New Orleans hub via the internet.

Do you know of/can you recommend /is this a horrible/good idea?: Is
there a DNS company/service that will allow me to export my DNS settings
from New Orleans hub to the internet that I can point all my clients to
that will have both my company specific DNS answers, and world wide DNS
answers?

So, I set all clients to get their DNS answers from:

ns1.someisp.com

They want yahoo, they get yahoo's public IP address.

They ask for privatemailserver.atmycomany.com they get the private
internal ip address.

How do other people handle this type of situation?

Thanks for any advise.

--John
