I can not access our work’s website from work

[vertices]

vertices what I did ,,,,at home when I pinged www.works.org.nl (again I made this name up as an example), I got an external ip address (202.y.y.y)

At work under works.org.nl forward lookup zone I updated 3 entries for ftp, list, www from the old ip address to the new one (i.e. 202.y.y.y) and now I can access www.works.org.nl from work and I can ping www.works.org.nl from work as well

Would I have done the right thing or still I need to consider other thing in the DNS configuration ?

Still I am looking for the answer to below :


Thanks

Yes you did the right thing. And yes, you will have to update it later if it changes externally. That's the issue with split-dns, and why I recommended a different config by deleting that zone, and making a new zone called mail.works.org.nl as outlined above. Glad you have it sorted for now though.

If you decide to keep it as is, you need to delete the * record. You also need to make sure you have a "(same as parent folder)" A record pointing to that same public IP.
