Howdy folks,
I'm new to linux and DNS and in a situation similar to DM's. I have DSL with a
fixed IP and a firewall. I'm trying to set up a linux box as DNS inside the
firewall. Currently our DSL provider acts as DNS sending aptaccess.com to our
static public IP.
Can I keep the linux box behind the firewall with the configuration to forward
DNS requests to the private IP (192.168.168.xx)?
Should we have our provider direct *.aptaccess.com to us and have our DNS
resolve www.aptaccess.com, ftp.aptaccess.com, etc. Or should we just take care
of it all ourselves? (We have 2 seperate offices with static IPs, so we could
provide primary and secondary ourselves)
Thanks in advance for any assistance =)
