Why not put mydomain.com 192.168.whatever in your /etc/hosts file? No need to run a dns server to hard-code one single lookup like that.
Thanks very much, that seems to work. I added "www.myserver.com" to the line starting 192.168.2.5.
My home firewall (pfsense) runs a local DNS caching resolver (unbound), and I can add IP-name overrides to it via the web UI... I dislike putting stuff in /etc/hosts as its so 'out of sight, out of mind'
