FW: Sort of OT: Totally changing IP addresses for mailserver and primary nameserverSharyn:
Doesn't really matter - same procedure. As a general matter of security I would put them on different machines as you don't want to get virus problems on your DNS server. The DNS server does not have to be an expensive machine - $1000 tops - just basic and reliable - no frills. Do you have them on a domain? If so you will want to point each workstation to your new DNS Server, then point it to itself and add your ISOs DNS server IP address as the Forwarder in your DNS Server properties Ted Daniels ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharyn Schmidt To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 2:09 PM Subject: [IMail Forum] FW: Sort of OT: Totally changing IP addresses for mailserver and primary nameserver Guess I should've mentioned that my primary DNS server and my Imail server are the same box. -----Original Message----- From: Sharyn Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 3:01 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Sort of OT: Totally changing IP addresses for mailserver and primary nameserver Need to pick the brain's of the experts out there. We are changing from a cable internet connection to a fiber one. The cable connection is staying in place, so we will actually have 2 internet connections at my main site. The cable one is going to serve as sort of a "guest/public" internet connection, whereas the fiber becomes our main connection We are getting an entirely new block of static IP addresses with our new fiber connection. I am going to need to change the IP address of both my primary nameserver (which I host here) and mail server (also hosted here) to reflect the new static addresses. I am unsure what is the best way/order to do this.The new connections will be totally independent of the old one, different firewalls, different switches, etc. My internal network will be attached to the firewall behind the new fiber connection. I'll check the IMAIL KB for the best way to handle this within Imail. My biggest concern is the best way to get the Internet aware of the change, and the timing involved. Suggestions are welcome. TIA, Sharyn
