Split Horizon using views

View based Split Horizon

The BIND DNS configuration provides the following functionality:

1. Assume we want geographic users to get the lowest possible latency from a web service with a name of www.example.com
2. Assume we have a single worldwide email server called mail.example.com
3. Assume addresses 172.16.x.x originate in Mordor and we want them to be serviced by a local web server (172.16.1.1) we have installed in that land.
4. Assume addresses 172.15.x.x and 172.14.x.x originate in Gondor and we want them to be serviced by a local web server (17.15.1.1) we have installed in that land.
5. All other originations will default to a www.example.com at 192.168.1.2
6. For simplicity we assume an authoritative only server is being configured.
