I don't mean to be difficult but isn't that a security
concern?  I don't see how anyone would want to publish
internal information on the Internet.  For example,
let's say you have an A-Record for this internal
domain called mysql or sql or oracle, that potential
cracker would know where to check for those exploits
once he is in your network....cuts his/her time by 10
in searching for hosts on the Internal network
(without being detected [ping scans]).
I know this isn't the thread to rant on about this but
there is my $0.02 on that topic. :)
