I'm at a startup comp tasked with setting up a new network.
The Windows Server 2003 running Apache SW is at the owners home.
The developers and QA staff work out of there homes or the office.
Everyone uses DNS name to access the server from their remote locations or
the office.

The plan is to bring the server into an office suite locating it behind a
firewall and a switch. In doing this, make the necessary IP changes to the
server reflecting a secure static non-public IP address behind the FW
(10.x.x.x) with the WAN port being a public IP address available for
incomming WAN users. Internal users will be served private DHCP (served via
FW) when using the office network.

My question is, can I setup an internal DNS name (pocket.case.com) to
reflect the public DNS name also (pocket.case.com) so when developers and QA
are on the office network, they can still access (pocket.case.com) server
without sending data past the switch and firewall to the public DNS and
coming back in? Yet the public still has access to the public DNS via the
Public IP via rule on the firewall to the private IP address on the internal
network.

To make this happen, I would plan on using the two NIC's in the server, one
bound to the public IP address and the other bound to the internal IP
address. Is there something I am missing? Can I add a DNS service on the
2003 server without requiring additional hardware?

My goal is to allow seemless communication for staff no matter where they
maybe sitting, home or in the office, yet provide the best security possible
while still building the startup business without having lots of cash.

Your wisdom and support are always greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jeff
