Is it possible to setup DNS server (Win2k8) thus the same DNS name (an A record) is being resolved to different IPs depending on some option.

E.g. example.com for clients from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.1, for clients from internet - to some inet IP?

P.S. As far as I know such approach name on BIND is 'views'

Windows Server DNS does not have views. It is recommended that you set up separate hardware to cover the private and the public sides.

Yes, in BIND this is indeed called "views".

I honestly don't know whether Microsoft's DNS server can do it. BIND runs quite happily on Windows systems these days, though.

If setting up BIND on your Windows box, or having two separate machines is too much effort/cost - you may want to consider destination NATing the internal machines using iptables or similar. The beauty of this type of solution is if you already have a *nix firewall in place (and you really should have a *nix firewall in place ;) ), no extra machine would be required... More info:
