Re: What are you using for CHGTCPDMN INTNETADR (DNS servers) parm?

Internal Internal Internal. Otherwise Internal.

You want IBM i to see the same internal name resolution as all other 
servers in your network.

If you use the same domain name inside as outside then responses from 
the public DNS will be flatly wrong as they will report public IP 
addresses not private ones. (e.g. if your public domain name is 
yourcompany.com and you also use that for servers in your data center.)

If you use yourcompany.com externally and yourcompany.someothertld 
internally you also never want your system to fall back to an external 
DNS server or you would get NO resolution to 
anythingatall.yourcompany.somethertld.

Either is bad, one returns a lie, the other returns nothing.
