I would run the test anyways. Couldn’t hurt. Maybe you’ll see another that’s faster.
Internal dns is for high tech rednecks like me who need to test application software on different stacks at home. I have 6 VLANs about 200 hosts and I use an internal dns server so they can communicate with each other by hostname. Some of the devices are wireless and to simulate customer environments, I need them to reach each other via internal dns. I also use it for privacy reasons.
