There are two kinds of DNS Records we use here at Tufts: Internal and External. Internal DNS Records are records that can only be used while on the Tufts network. External Records are those that can be used while outside the Tufts Network. If you create only an Internal Record for a system, the domain name will not be accessible from the internet so you will usually want to use both.
