I have a machine that's a dual homed host running NAT and DNS, connected to the outside world with a static IP. It seems I can nslookup 'www.mydomain.com' from the outside, so I think my DNS responds to lookups from the outside. I am pointing 'WWW' via DNS to a separate machine called web.mydomain.com but for some reason from the outside I cannot get to http://www.mydomain.com. It is working from the inside however. My confusion is therefore the following: how can I test that outside DNS queries are resolved correctly and why would requests for http://www... not get routed to the Web server? I'm pretty sure nothing relevant (UDP 53 or IP 80) gets dropped by the firewall btw., I checked /var/log/security. This is my first attempt at DNS so please be gentle :-) I'm looking for a conceptual answer but I can follow up with config files if it helps. I read some old posts at 'Ask Mr.DNS' that talked about running 'split DNS'. Is that still necessary? Thanks so much, Caro _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
