Seems like a matter of choice. but... I am running DNS behind a firewall and I use sub-domains for the internal (192.168.x.x) addresses. It hasn't been to big of a deal to use slightly different names when inside or outside the firewall. My 'outside names' are public things like ns1.mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com. The inside things are subbed under that and machine oriented like mercury.production.mydomain.com. Eventually I plan on using the 'view' capability in bind to allow internal use of external names.

I need to know you have set-up your internal DNS server behind the firewall. Of course, it applies to only those organizations who have an internal DNS server. The question is, if their external domain name is .foo.com (for example), do they keep the same domain extension for the internal domain names like internal.foo.com or the choose a fictitious domain name extension like .foo? I truly appreciate your help in this regard.
