Hello all.
Maybe this is not exactly the best place for posting this question, but I really need help and I can't find information about it... I have some servers with Mandrake (this is the only relation with the forum's topic) that we're using in our organization. There are some intranet sites hosted there. However, we'd like to extend our site capabilities by pluging those servers into Internet and behave as a hosting server. That is, we want our site to be public to the Internet.
However, we'd like to avoid ISPs, so my question is: what do I need to do about it? Where can I get the required information?
I am assuming that you have a firewall/router and Internet access already.
Does you firewall have a DMZ? If so, put the web servers into the DMZ and port forward the external firewall:80 request to the DMZ:80. Internal machines will still be able to access the servers but if they get hacked, they do not have any network access to your private network.
--WWW----(public IP) Firewall ----- DMZ (web servers) | private network
www -> DMZ via portforward = ok private -> DMZ = ok DMZ -> private = fails
Use bind() to allow the private machines access to the webservers by url or add to hosts on firewall if available.
