Hi all
I am thinking of getting a static IP. I'd like to host chalaron.org by
myself....
Now I need some config advice for the DNS
My box server (with bind) is 192.168.1.52
My DNS is configured as (with forward first etc...)
; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> myserver.chalaron.org
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 16372
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;myserver.chalaron.org. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
myserver.chalaron.org. 86400 IN A 192.168.1.52
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
chalaron.org. 86400 IN NS myserver.chalaron.org.

;; WHEN: Thu May 13 15:14:56 2004

Now this box is behind a firewall (DSL modem Allied). The firewall is
forwarding port 53 to myserver.chalaron.org.
So far a couple of test show that forwarding 110,22,80 are Ok.. so should be
53.
questions now :
A/ In a windows machine anywhere outside my Lan I should give my_static_IP as
first DNS ? right or wrong ?
B/ The same would apply for resolv.conf ? right ?
C/ Should I change my DNS config for
;; ANSWER SECTION:
myserver.chalaron.org. 86400 IN A my_static_ip
D/ DNS is on TCP or should I forward UDP ?
Thanks a lot for any help
Edouard
