Setting up split DNS involves configuring an internal domain name system (DNS) server, an internet domain name server (DNS), and configuring the internal DNS to point to the internet DNS.
1. Create an internal DNS server: The first step is to create an internal DNS server on your local network. This can be done with any of the popular DNS server applications, such as BIND, Microsoft DNS, or Unbound. Set up the server to accept requests from your internal machines and to forward them to external DNS servers.
2. Create an external DNS server: Create an external DNS server that can be used to provide name resolution for websites located outside your local network. You can use a public DNS service such as Google Public DNS or OpenDNS. Make sure that your internal DNS server can send queries to this external DNS server.
3. Configure the internal DNS server: Configure your internal DNS server to forward requests for internal services and websites to the external DNS server. You can do this by setting up a zone transfer, or by creating a CNAME record in the internal DNS.
4. Test the setup: Test the setup by using a web browser or ping utility to try to access website on the internal or external networks. If everything has been set up correctly, the requests should resolve properly.
