Re: Home server hardware for Ubuntu 14.04?

2014-10-04 Thread M D L
I've recently built a file server for home network. I ended up building from parts and based this on a Supermicro atom motherboard (MBD-A1SAM-2550F-O). Atom may be a bit slower than you want, but would seem to meet all of your other requirements. - Motherboard is passively cooled, so should

I see a couple of possible solutions to this. The first is a zone transfer, but this might not work for you. This would provide you a copy of the remote system's zone file on your system. The remote system would need to allow this transfer (probably doesn't, remote admin would need to add

There's no need to muck with iptables to make two ports into a switch. This is done using a bridge interface. Network Manager will even let you create a bridge (including running spanning tree) for any ports on the system. Might not have the lowest latency of a dedicated hardware switch, but

I've found that NFS has been sufficient for my needs at home. I had picked up a SuperMicro Atom motherboard (MBD-X7SPA-H-O) and used that to build a home NAS. I didn't use FreeNAS, or any other custom distribution. I've been running CentOS on this. I have 4 WD black drives in a md raid-5

Even if Fairpoint was doing Carrier Grade NAT there is a separate address space for that (100.64.0.0/10) per RCF 6598. They shouldn't even have 10.0.0.0/8 in their public routing tables even if they are using this internally. Any decent ISPs should be filtering the private address space from
