    Alright, my boss is looking to have single name entries for the local network (not sure of the actual name). This is what he is looking for:

    http://server1
    http://server2
    http://server3

    not

    http://server1.mydomain.com
    http://server2.mydomain.com
    http://server3.mydomain.com

    I've tried entering server1 as an A record pointing to the internal IP but that will work for some machines and not for others. I don't know any other way to do it since I'm not a DNS guru, so I'm hoping there is one out there that knows a way I can do this with ISPConfig or with Bind in such a way that ISPConfig won't overwrite it.

    Thanks again for everyone's help!.

    I just ran into something quite interesting as well. When someone gets the DNS server via DHCP or staticly assigned it seems that the domain name is doubled. Not sure if this might be part of the problem but here is the example:


    C:\Documents and Settings\User>nslookup
    Default Server: mydomain.com.mydomain.com
    Address: 10.10.10.20

    > intranet
    Server: mydomain.com.mydomain.com
    Address: 10.10.10.20

    Name: intranet.mydomain.com
    Address: 10.10.10.184

    >quit

    C:\Documents and Settings\User>
