Yes, that would mean a virtual machine for another DNS is not an ideal solution 
= if the host OS goes down and network problems , but for other DNS software 
related problems, the virtual machine is still capable of backing up, I think 
this is a poor setup. My current company setup is we do not have DNS servers on 
our own but hosted at ISP(PLDT). Registrar's built in DNS servers won't resolve 
to correct hostnames.

Yeah that could work as well. However, I dont think it's ideal practice since 
if your link goes down, there's no DNS service to fallback to. And some 
registrars detect if the nameservers are on the same IP block.

I believed it's possible to put two nameservers(having the same IP) with

I think he needs two DNS servers (usual requirement from the registrar) that's 
publicly accessible. Doesn't have to be behind NAT. And since he has only one 
public IP address, he can setup a secondary DNS service somewhere else - 
zoneedit perhaps.

Hi, 


The way I understood your problem is that you need two DNS servers behind NAT 
and you must setup two DNS servers. As others indicated, the 1st step of the 
solution is port-forwarding, the way you setup your webserver in your router. 
Second is you need two public IP addresses, one for your web server and at the 
same time a primary (can be secondary) DNS server, the other public IP is for 
the second/secondary DNS server. At least you need two machines behind NAT to 
power your Web and DNS servers. If your main machine is powerful enough, you 
can easily setup a virtual machine as a secondary or primary DNS server. 


Cheers, 
Allan

Hi, 

Thank you for your replies. PHNET is the registry for the EDU.PH 
domain name. The provide domain registration, DNS hosting and web 
hosting services. However, we would like to run our own DNS for this 
purpose. Indeed for the setup that's behind the NAT port-forwarding is 
the solution. PHNET requires that you must register at least 2 
nameservers for validation. I will try to contact PHNET on this issue. 
Thanks again guys for your helpful suggestions. 

Mabuhay UBUNTU-PH community!
