There is a solution to that
Authored by: chap on Nov 22, '02 01:28:44PM

I had the same problem with my netgear and there is a solution albeit a fairly involved one.
On my webserver, I set up bind configured to be the master for my domain. And to forward all other requests to my ISP. My dns services for the outside world are provided by a different server, so this has no effect on queries outside my network.

I then setup the "Home" location on my iBook to use this as the primary DNS server . Now when I'm at home I get a local network address for the hosts in my domain and everywhere else I get the public address.

This works well with one exception. Chimera appears to cache DNS lookups (independant of lookupd) and must be restarted when the location changes, otherwise it uses the incorrect address.
