Local & Internet DNS Servers Together ?

[Fr0dders]

I'm connected to a local DNS server that resolves our local address

this DNS server, unfortunately does not resolve any global IPs.

if i want to resolve Global IPs, i need to use one of the Open DNS Servers

unfortunately when i do that, i can no longer resolve local IPs. Is there a way of setting the global DNS to resolve global hostnames and the Local DNS to resolve local hostnames ?

i've tryed putting Local as primary DNS and global as secondary, but that doesnt seem to work.

what you should do is configure the local DNS to lookup global names.

Nearly all DNS server implementations support forwarding on requests to external servers if that server isn't responsible, or it can resolve them itself using the root servers. What server is it?

No that won't work.. the secondary will only be used if the primary does not respond. If the primary says "i don't know that domain" then that's the result you will get.

As csmager says, you have to set the local dns server to pass on dns requests that it cannot resolve.
