How to setup a HP UNIX server e.g. v11.0 behind a broadband router

[Kenneth_61]

Hi All,

Move mydomain.com from ISP to my home:

My home HP server is behind a broadband router. My ISP plan have one fixed public IP (WAN IP) . I had set th e DM zone of the router to 192.168.1.2 . So, outside world can access the server succesfully. My DNS setting of mydomain.com had been changed to point to dns1.mydomain.com . Thus, outside world can access any A records in my dns1.mydomain.com.
Q1.However, when setting this dns1 server, should we set the server to under mydomain.com ? The server is using 192.168.1.2 IP which is binded into network card. But, mydomain.com should be "WAN IP". I have problem on BIND and Qpopper services. Does anyone have any useful document regarding on this environment ?

Q2. Is it proper to setup 2 network cards in the server ? One is internet PPPoe, other is local LAN (192.168.x.x). But, I need to setup NAT inorder to share the broadband to other home PCs. Any one have this document of NAT ?

On the DSL router.

Forward any ports you wish the HP-9000 server to server.

Common ports include:

80 httpd/web documents
25 sendmail (WARNING! this can be abused)
21 ftp So you can update your website remotely
22 openssh Secure shell. The right way to update websites.
110 popmail qpopper and such



Q2. Proper? I do. I have two NIC's in a D320 at my private offices. One is directly connected to the Internet router, and runs the ipfilter firewall. The second add in NIC allows all kinds of connectivity only for my internal network.

Hi, Kenneth.

Have you tried http://www.redirectme.net?

It is a free service for linking a DNS name to a WAN IP address. It supports even DHCP IPaddresses if you install a free client they provide...

I use it for both my home servers (WIN & UX) and works perfectly... I can ssh to my unix box and even open the terminal services client against the micro$oft one...

Cheers,

Javier.
