I am trying to setup an internal dns server for my network. I am
hosting websites for several domains on two different FC3 boxes with each box assigned an IP address on my local area network. I perform port forwarding of 80 traffic to one web server and port 8080 traffic to another server via my sonicwall firewall which has my external ip address. I have a third box hosting email for one of these 6 domains. All public dns resolution currently is handled by public dns servers and I wish to maintain this. I would like to setup a caching name server that will resolve the internal network ip addresses when I query th web addresses for the 6 domains or send and retrieve email via my internal network mail server (143,25 and 110 traffic is port forwarded to the mail server from the outside). Essentially I need to setup the nameserver as a simple caching name server with the addition of A records for each of the server addresses that I am hosting in the 6 different domains without this dns server becoming the authorative name server for each domain so as not to break the mail server's lookup of mx records for mail sent to users in the domains for whom I am hosting the websites. I hope I explained this clearly enough. I am setting up my dns via webmin on my fc3 box, so any help using that tool would also be helpful. I will quicky respond to any requests for my information should by description of my problem need clarification. Skydiver |
