Ok, I have a perfectly good set of dedicated DNS servers, a primary and a secondary. They work just fine, but only on the local network. I understand that 192.168.x.x is for private networks, what I dont understand is the port forwarding and how to actually broadcast. I can point my zone files to my static IP and still no luck. In theory, you should be able to create your own TLD with bind9 right? example; myname.bla
anyway, any tips would be helpful here. I know i need another static IP from my ISP for my secondary?? right? i only have one static ip right now. aside from that, do i need static IP's for my HTTP / FTP / POP3 & SMTP servers? (they are all dedicated as well) a static (public) IP for each unit?
so even if I got all of these IP addresses, and even bought a registered TLD like myname.com, how would the topology be set up? Ive tried several different configs (its easy to get lost in fun stuff :D for example - I have a larger home network totaling in about 10 user nodes and 8 servers 3 network hardware devices (routers / gateways ect) and 1 dedicated shorewall fw. so where do my DNS servers fit in? before my dedicated fw but after the DSL modem? or maybe its some kind of porting and forwarding issue? I know my firewall works fine, along with the rest of my servers. I know it has to be some very small slight setting... just like always. please help.
if anyone needs a current topology diagram :
>internet>>
>DSL Modem>> >Dedicated Firewall (actual computer / unit)>> >wired router>> >wired router>>
>DNS1
>DNS2
>other servers as well >wireless gateway (actual computer/unit - for all wireless access)
>wired router>>
>all 10 or so user nodes (lan parties ect...)hope this helps...hope someone can help me :)
thanks guys
