For this situation it might be easiest to solve if your firewall supports split level DNS. Rator does this. It allows you to associate internal addresses to names, and list forwarders for external sites. Then just set your DNS on your clients to point to the Raptor.

OFFICE MEMO NetScape vs Explorer Date: 11/13/97
I understand this is a firewall server group and this subject may seem to stray from the subject, but in our shop it does tie in. I apologize in advance if others see differently. Currently we have NetScape as our inTERnet browser, pointing the proxies to the firewall interface. We also have an inTRAnet utilizing 2 internal domains, with the root in Texas, that are defined in the no proxy section. Everything is fine and works well. We have decided to migrate to M/S Explorer because it is free with NT and Win '95, but I have noticed that Explorer will only resolve 'no-proxy' alloctions via a host name, not domain names. This seems to dismantle the DNS structure and force us to defining host name and doing away with ou internal root. Unless I am missing something we can no longer use domain names to access our inTRAnet and internal DNS. Am I correct in my assumption or am I missing something. Where do I define the domain names that I want Explorer to use the internal DNS to resolve, or can I...thanks in advance for any help .
