Greetings, I have a server which will host 3 websites, and is assigned a single local= IP address (one from the 192.168.x.x group). I created 3 jails which are= up and running, and each website will be contained entirely within it's= own jail. The jail hostname reflects the domain of the website it will= host. The only daemons running in each jail (for now) are cron and sshd,= and each jail has a single wheel user. Some might call this the beginnings= of a virtual server? This host server runs named. For now, I tell my home computer to use the= host server's public IP address as my only DNS server, so I can access (in= theory) each jail/website by name. I enabled named in rc.conf, then created named.conf, then created zone= files for the server, the 3 jails/websites, and reverse DNS. This process= was rather complicated, and somewhere along the way I have configured= something wrong. The way the zones are set up for the jails/websites, when I ping from my= home computer, it resolves the name to the host server IP and pings it= just fine. But if I try to ssh to the jail/website by name, it ends up= ssh'ing to the host server. The only way I found to ssh into the= jail/website was to first ssh into the host server, then from there I= could ssh to the jail/website by using it's local IP address. At least pings from the outside world can get to the host server.... but= once at the host server, how do I get that traffic routed to the correct= jail/website (local IP address)? This is much tougher than I expected, and after hours of trial and error= trying to self-teach myself how to do this, I digress... I must once again= ask for help from the experts. All assistance is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Chris
