Why is it obvious that you don't have reverse DNS for the external
interface?
Because most ADSL lines (certainly in the UK) are provided without a
way for you to set up the reverse DNS, and the size of company that
would have one server doing NAT, email, web, etc. doesn't have a
particularly expensive connection. This isn't a leased line here :-)
If you have a static IP your ISP/NSP should set the reverse Ip for you
if you contact them.
Normally OS X gets really cranky if it does not have forward and
reverse lookups on the external interface.
I know it gets cranky without reverse lookups, hence the question.
I just want it to completely ignore that interface as the internal
DNS is fine.
Doesn't matter, it's required regardless of what Ni OD runs on.
