hi,

as checkpoint is not a DNS server you have to

b: Configure a secondary DNS server on a DMZ and point my internal DNS
servers to that?

or

or c:  Point my internal DNS servers to use my ISP's DNS servers as a
forwarder?

choose b if you want to have your domain our your dns-server, choose B if
you don't need an external DNS-server. it's only one more server to patch
and monitor ...

cheers and marry christmas

I am beginning to begin the change to CheckPoint from Raptor(Symantec).
With raptor you could point your internal DNS servers to the inside
interface of the raptor firewall as your forwarder for your internal DNS
servers.  I believe this was because Raptor had it's own internal DNS
service running.  When I change to Checkpoint will I have to a: Point my
internal DNS server to use Checkpoint as a forwarder? b: Configure a
secondary DNS server on a DMZ and point my internal DNS servers to that?
or c:  Point my internal DNS servers to use my ISP's DNS servers as a
forwarder?
