Comment on Help Wanted: Accessing a Service With the Same FQDN Inside and Outside Local Network

Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

When my phone is connected to my WiFi, it uses my local dns. When outside my home it uses public dns

You don’t need ‘split dns’ whatever that is.

This is split dns 😉

No, split dns is having separate records for the same domain on internal and external servers.

Run a local dns. Have an entry in the local dns that points to the internal ip.

This is split dns. Merely having an internal server isn’t split dns.

  It’s OK, Sheldon.

  It seems strange that having two completely independent dns servers with different information gets the name ‘split dns’.
  
  Reading the Wikipedia page seems to indicate more like one dns server hands out different data based on where the request is coming from.
  
  But I guess it’s splitting hairs either way.

    The external server isn’t necessarily yours. It’s called “split” because what you see from the inside and what others see from the outside are two entirely different things, for the exact same record.
