Hi all,

this is the first time I'm going to be playing around with a setup like this so I'd like to get some advice:

I would like to run a master/slave configuration of Bind servers but am confused about how to implement such a setup and the underlying network fabric involved!!

First up, currently in my lab I am running an authoritative DNS server through NAT so when people make queries it goes through port 53 on my Cisco 857's ADSL interface then reaches the server with an internal private IP address.

I know that I can use 2 different public IP addresses and implement this via NAT opening up static NAT definitions from both WAN IP's to internal private IP's of the servers; however..... is this the best practice or should I give the servers public addresses on one of their NICs then run the named service from their???

I plan to upgrade to a Cisco 1800 series which has two routable ports in either Ethernet or ADSL and Ethernet configurations and has a managed 8 port switch which I am sure can be included to be outside the NAT making it easy to tie the servers in to the network.

I've never dealt with a setup like this before as everything I've done so far has been behind NAT so I'm a little confused about how to go about it..... I know this is probably more of a thing for the Cisco Netpro forum but since I am going to be dealing with Bind there maybe a way I can get around with NAT depending on what the experts or more experienced people say!

Many thanks for any responses!

Best regards,

Kaya
