Sorry that this is not debian specific, but on the off chance that someone does read this, thanx!
I am about to put work onto the internet to run a web server, and for users to browse the web and exchange email. I have registered a domain, for example xyz.com The link will be a dedicated dialup, until I can justify isdn. My isp will provide me with a static ip. The box on my end of this link will be a Debian machine. The web server will run on this box. I will use ip firewalling and masquerading on this machine also. My internal network is a class A, per rfc1918. I will call this machine www.xyz.com This machine is dual homed with the ip from my isp, and 10.0.3.254 I dont want users to see a machine one the internal network, such as applications.xyz.com(10.0.4.1) thru nslookup et al. My question is: should I run an internal domain server for a made up domain, such as xyznet, ie the applications machine will really be applications.xyznet(10.0.4.1) I understand that 10.0.4.1 will not be reachable from the internet, but I do not want anyone knowing about it's existance. If i run a made up domain internally, www.xyz.com will have to relay mail to services.xyznet. Also, I assume that ms outlook(i know, i know) will have to be configured to use xyz.com as the senders address. Does this make sense? Thanks in advance! -- Walter L.
