dns & host file

Thansk, I wil try to explain below:
I have two win 2000 servers(application and database server).
Each server have two network cards and use a hub(1 GB) connect each other)
local IP: 192.168.0.100 and 192.168.0.101
The other network cards connect to internet.
192.168.0.100 is setup accept email relay and 192.168.0.101 use
192.168.0.100 to relay email out.
If I don't put 192.168.0.100 in host file, the email won't go out, I think
it can't find in DNS.
I have to put 192.168.0.100 in host file and specify 192.168.0.100 in smart
host in order to let it work.
Can I put 192.168.0.100 local ip in DNS and get rid of host file?

Why do you need to use a host file for that?

Why not run DNS on the 2000 Server(s)?

Point the internal DNS clients (including the servers themselves) to
the INTERNAL DNS server -- add whatever zones and records
you need there.

Have the INTERNAL DNS Servers FORWARD to your ISP.

Hello someone DeleteThis @js.com,

Why do you not install your own DNS server? Think it will be more easy then
using host file. Additional i wouldn't use both NIC's on this way, why not
choosing one NIC on the hub, i prefer switches because they minimize traffic,
and connect via the hub to the internet?


Best regards

Thanks for the help.
Yes. Both server have DNS installed. If I remove host file, the email won't
go to relay server(192.168.0.100), even I specified 192.168.0.100 as smart
host. How to add 192.168.0.100 to my local DNS server. Thanks again.

Create a new record for the host name in the zone.

Ok, since that is so trivial there must be something that we or you
are misunderstanding.

Do you have any zones on your internal server? (for you domains?)

Thanks Herb,
The two servers are in workgroup not domain mode. How to add a local IP to
the DNS? Please advice.
