Comment on Help Wanted: Accessing a Service With the Same FQDN Inside and Outside Local Network
thenextguy@lemmy.world 1 week agoIt 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.
