Okay. You can still add as many DNS zones as you like to it. I don't
see that as a problem.

Sure, but the machines in your DMZ are YOUR machines, not the ISP's.
If you, for whatever reason, lost contact with the ISP's DNS, how
would you find the IP addresses for the machine's in your DMZ?

I don't understand that last sentence. Are you saying you have no
other machines in the DMZ except your edge server?

>My question is: witch is the correct dns suffix for edge?

Your company does business using the "company.com" domain. Use that.
But that's not going to be ideal since you must use your ISP's DNS to
resolve the name. That's why you want a "company.com" DNS zone on your
internal DNS.

You need one DNS. You should have more than one DNS zone in that DNS.

Well, then back up a bit and start with DNS and how you resolve names.

Why? If your ISP's DNS is what external entities use to resolve names
you expose to the Internet there's no need for a DNS in the DMZ. Your
internal DNS should already be configured to use forwarders (or
root-hints) so why put a DNS in your DMZ that would have to allow
recursive queries? That's not good at all.

Yes I said that, but it was just an example, indeed I have some web
server, www.company.com
ww1.company.com ww2.company.com etc.those are resolved by my
maintainer

OK, this should be the solution,
last questions, could I add to DNS domain corp.company.com a zone
company.com? (parents domain)
I tried many month ago, but I wasn't able. I don't remember the error,
sorry.

Yes, my internal DNS is configured to use forwarder, so I don't need
to use dns in DMZ, but, I thought that if DNS in LAN, query in dmz
and then the DNS in DMZ query in internet is more secure then direct
access. (but I don't know, it is just an idea)

You should be able to.

Allowing DNS queries from your DMZ to your LAN should be okay.

Thank you very much for your time.
I'm going to do.
