In previous home labs I've always had my internal domain as domain.local as being a lab it's not had any public facing services. However I've been reading the best practices and Microsoft recommend using a sub domain of my public registered domain, such as ad.domain.com.
I will be adding Citrix to my home lab and will be trying to provide external access via a Netscaler, so I have flattening the lab and redone it with the domain being ad.domain.com. I keep reading about internal and external DNS along with split-brain DNS and what not. It's my understanding that by using a sub domain I wouldn't need any of this and I'd just have to point the 'A' record for citrix.domain.com to my public IP and then port forward that to the IP of the Netscaler?
