I'd considered running another copy of BIND which services the internal
network and has local addresses for the local resources. But honestly =
its
not such a big problem and I haven't found the time to fix it that way.

The Nokia IP55 seemed to do it, though it had so many other problems =
like
not routing to 80 from the WAN from time to time that it got replaced =
with a
Netgear 834G and at the weekend I've replaced that, probably permanently
with a D-Link 604+

To get around the problem I created a local domain local.objective2k.com
which is managed by the internal domain server so I can address local
machines and test and I've created objective2k.com both on the external
domain and the internal domain as targetted addresses so I can check
connectivity inside and outside my network.
