[ILUG] clash of local domain with web site

[Guest, Ken]

This is why I recommend using a tld like '.home' or '.zedsdead' for
internal/home networks...

#Hi,
#
#My local domain at home is xyz.com and works fine, postfix 
#distributes mail 
#fine and ip masquerading is setup. The only problem is i have 
#a web site 
#www.xyz.com out on the internet. When i try to access it from home, my 
#internal DNS is looked up and gives an error "not found". How 
#do i configure 
#it so that www.xyz.com is looked up on the internet and not 
#locally first. If 
#i had an ip address i could probably try put it in /etc/hosts, 
#but i don't. 
#The same problem happens when i try to connect to ftp.xyz.com.
