I have a webserver with two IP addresses - one is a NAT and the other is
an external address. My internal dns server has the internal ip address
for the host, and the external dns A record is hosted in the cloud
(externally).
On a Windows 2003 Server (latest patches) - ping www.myhost.com returns
the external address, whereas nslookup www.wananga.com returns the
internal address (as in 129.0.1.240).
I have two dns entries loaded in network adapter - ipconfig /all shows
