Cisco router & split dns

[v.matiakis]

Hi there,

Here's what i'm trying to achive :

I want to use my cisco router in order to forward queries that belong to mydomain.com to my dns server and everything else to the ISP's dns server. Has anyone ever configured something similar?

Thanx in advance

I don't think you can do that on a router.  I think the usual way to do it is to forward all your DNS requests to your local DNS server, and then configure the local DNS server to refer to the ISP DNS server for addresses that are outside its scope.

Hi,

You can do it, the Split DNS doc on Cisco website isn't the most straightfoward I've ever seen.  It also doesn't give you a working example.  I managed to succeed with this, and have added an example config assuming you still need to get this working.  This was done on an 877W, with a split tunnel to PIX 515E.  Now passes DNS query to internal DNS servers via the Tunnel, and all other DNS queries to the ISP Public DNS servers.  Access list 101 is part of the inbound ACL assigned to the Dialer0 interface.

Thanks,

Kevin
