OT: getting named to answer differently based on requester's IP

Very doable using bind9. Google up 'bind split horizon'. Also look up nat reflection for your firewall. It may just need ti be enabled.

I have a local machine (say "foo.example.com") that is behind a very
dumb firewall (it will not honor dmz/port forwarding if the connection
originates from inside the firewall [192.168.2.X]).... specifically if
I connect to the public IP from *OUTSIDE* of the lan it works but not
from inside... I have a number of web services that depend on a
specific DNS being set (specifically www/tomcat7 and the alike)...
i.e. if I am at home I need to use "localhost" (changing it in
/etc/hosts has no effect) if I am away I need to use
"ack.example.com")... what I want to do is make it so I can use
"ack.example.com" for all references... this means I need to make it
so local requests to ack.example.com answer 192.168.2.2 and remote
ones answer the public IP.. how do I configure named to do this (I
have full control of all the nameservers in question)
