Corporate Split-Horizon DNS: Internal vs External Resolution and Route Selection
Drawing preview
The scenario

A company operates split-horizon DNS so internal and external clients resolve the same hostname to different IP addresses; after resolution, traffic is routed through internal or gateway paths based on client source.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Determine client source as internal or external

02

Check whether matching DNS record exists in the selected view

03

Decide whether to forward unresolved queries upstream

04

Select internal or gateway route after resolution

Use for documenting corporate DNS split-horizon designs, DNS forwarding policies, or resolution-to-routing workflows.
