Search Again: DNS behind a firewall From: David Rice Date: Friday, February 11, 2000 Time: 5:23:00 pm Hi: I am having a difficult time setting up our system here and would appreciate a little help. We have a 128 ISDN connection through a Netopia router. The router is configured to supply a set of IP addresses to workstations in the office and is configured to use NAT. I have assigned a fixed address to the server I wish to use as a DNS/Web/Mail server. The router is configured so that it passes HTTP/SMTP/POP3?DNS requests to this server. I know that the web requests are being passed through and being served because if I hit the router address with a browser, it serves up stuff. I am running QuickDNS Pro and have attempted to set it up with a domain auto-logic.net with a record for www.auto-logic.net and this appears to work on our internal network. I have several things that I do not understand: Is it possible for this DNS server to be seen by the outside world? And if so what do I have to do to make that happen? I have set the router to pass DNS information to the internal address of the server on port 53. Is this correct? Also, what do I have to do to set up another domain on this DNS server for autosense.ca? If I use the assistant I seem to get it mangled with the auto-logic records. I know I am suffering from OHUA syndrome on this but please help me anyways. This DNS stuff gives me a headache! Thanks for any assistance. David
