Dear list: Got the web server working, as per previous post to list. Now, I would like to host a mail server on the same win2003 server machine.
Problem: I foolishly thought networksolutions would take care of all that when I registered my domain with them. How na�ve I was. Although they offer web forwarding, they seem unable to put an a DNS MX record pointing to my static IP. No doubt they want the $20 per year per mailbox. I am wondering how others have dealt with this issue. Networksolutions will allow me to point my entire domain to a name server of my choice, and a perfectly good one is running on my Win2003 srvr box inside the firewall. So, my plan is run a DNS server inside the firewall so that I can directly control what services I wish to host on my internal network. I need to port-forward DNS requests to the WIN2003 box, and how best to do this. My question is this: Are there other "legal" forms of the INTERN_<blah>_SERVER statements that accomplish port forwarding? I am thinking I need a statement like: INTERN_DNS_SERVER <internal IP of WIN2003 box> to obtain appropriate port forwarding for tcp/udp port 53. I have tried using the generic form of port forwarding via lrcfg of network.conf, e.g. INTERN_SERVERS "quoted list of stuff" in conjunction with the above mentioned statements, but it doesn't seem to work -- even with the stock EXTERN_IP variable in place. My basic config is CONFIGDNS=YES eth0_IPADDR = <static ip> eth0_MASKLEN=26 EXTERN_DHCP=NO EXTERN_TCP_PORT0 "0/0 www" EXTERN_TCP_PORT0 "0/0 smtp" EXTERN_TCP_PORT0 "0/0 imap" INTERNAL_WWW_SERVER=192.168.x.y INTERNAL_SMTP_SERVER=192.168.x.y INTERNAL_IMAP_SERVER=192.168.x.y and according to weblet I have port forwarding active for all three services.
