No, this is not true. DNS servers had for ages ability to forward selected domains to specified list of addresses. All DNS caches have the ability to do it for no reason. Servers do not have automatic configuration of split DNS only, because often do not have multiple connections. But I think VPNs could be also used to interconnect networks and selected DNS forwarding might still be benefical for it. However, servers need a proper DNS service. Very often they depend on DNSSEC for mail filtering. They should protect their precious caches with signatures. DNSSEC disabled by default, even when upstream service provides perfectly working DNS, is just failure on our side. Especially on servers, when DNSSEC readines would be much more common than on crappy cheap home routers. Remote DNS does not have to be much slower. If you have dedicated resolver on the same LAN as you, your own cache might not help you much. Depends a lot on specific applications usage.

Without split DNS, your DNS may not work properly at all. -- Petr Menšík Software Engineer Red Hat, http://www.redhat.com/ email: pemensik@xxxxxxxxxx PGP: DFCF908DB7C87E8E529925BC4931CA5B6C9FC5CB
