Is setting up one behind a firewall constitute a valid option? More info to follow: Lucent Router ------ FreeBSD NAT firewall --------- DNS Server I know I need to tell the firewall to redirect port 53 both forwards and backwards for the DNS server. A case in point, assuming I was on the outside of the Lucent Router and wanted to use the internal DNS server (192.168.x.x) from another FreeBSD box, where would I point it at because obviously the DNS server doesn't have a legitimate external "Internet IP." The question is easy if I'm internal behind the firewall, I could just point directly at the 192.168.x.x address, but that's not the situation I'm looking at. Or, alternatively, is there a better way of setting this up without putting the DNS server on the firewall machine. Thanks for any input...
