For what its worth, I run a web server behind a Dlink
router(DIR-825). I have done that for about 6 years, the same box. I
have not seen that type of messages.<br>
<br>
It does not need a PTR record, it can run without any DNS , except
it is non-practical.<br>
<br>
What it does need is to be included in the virtual servers list in
the D-link router.<br>
<br>
I guess you will have to be more specific about exactly which
situation creates the message and if possible which SW-module is
responsible before it is possible to help.<br>

For me, the list is called bind-users, not bind-discussion. BIND discussion would be a higher echelon than a user list. I'm a bind user and I have a Domain Name Server problem, somewhere, that I have been trying to solve for a long time and am going over my steps once again. I need to get my webserver online and there is a problem with the name or lookup or the router. I have not found any errors in httpd, bind or the router configuration that have solved it. The latest hint I got was an ostensible missing in-addr.arpa PTR record, which, to me, made it relevant to BIND.

<pre wrap="">Let's assume that you've got a D-Link router which has a single public IP from your provider, and provides NAT translation for a private RFC-1918 subnet, and you've placed your webserver on a VM which lives behind that D-Link router. If so, you will need to enable static port forwarding for 80/tcp to the VM running the webserver, or perhaps place that IP in the router's "Enable DMZ Host" section of the firewall config.
This is basic networking; it doesn't have any close relationship to either DNS or webservers.

The ports forwarded to the 192.168.0.101 webserver are unchanged since 2005; dns, http and ssh to appropriate ports. The router did change, the static ips changed, as well as the physical location of the network and servers. I don't know what the issue is, that's why I asked about including explicit PTR files to the domain name, as well as the localhost in-addr.arpa, which is the latest in a list of "possible irregularities" I have turned up so far that I need to confirm one way or the other.
I do appreciate you taking valuable time to answer. I have to wade into it all again. I hope I am still welcome to ask questions here as I have seen others do, since I subscribed to this list in an effort to learn about BIND and DNS, a number of years ago.
