I have a problem configuring an NS in the DMZ.
I've set-up a child NS in the DMZ to service remote internet clients. I've specified the Alternate URL in the Agent settings and the test client is connecting to the DMZ NS server.
The server name I'm using is contactable using the same DNS name either via the internal network or via the internet.
ie. server.domain.com is resolved internally and externally
The issue I'm having is the Task Server status component. The log files show that the client is trying to connect to the internal name which is based on the actual server host name ie. server10.local
The client log file details are:

So i seem to have a mix of internal and external addresses, and i know the external connections can't connect to server10.local. Does anyone have any suggestions for a resolution so all connections are via server.domain.com instead?
Does the server in the DMZ need to be renamed for example?
Thanks.
