My source is Shu"t Dvar Yehoshua siman 40  (in sif koton 14 he writes: 
(translation is mine; original available on request) "after the sealing of 
the talmud which was beshas sakono, chazal were oyker the mitsvah of 
lighting outside, and someone who does light outside is not doing lfi the 
takonos chazal." In s"k 5 he writes "there is no difference between EY and 
Chu"l, because even in Chu"l we lived in ghettos away from the goyim" He 
concludes "anyone who lights outside is motzei laz on the gedoylei 
harishonim.

For a list of rishoinim that say:

(now, we all light inside)
Teshuvos haRashbo 540 and 541
Ritvo shabos 21b
tur, shu"O, ramo 671
Shalvei leket 185
orchos chaim hil' chanuka s"k 3 (or sif 103)
kol boy 44

(even though there is no sakono)
baal haitor hil' chanuka
oyhel moed derech rishon nsiv 5
tzfnes penes (rivan) chanuka perek 3 halocho 3

(the teretz of the cold weather)
oruch hashulchan 671
