[OT] custom dyndns.org domain & local bind
Hi,
Sorry for the OT post, but a lot of people here seem to be using the
dyndns.org services. I am intending to transfer my domain to my home
server this week, and have set up a test domain to make sure everything
goes smoothly. The only thing I've found so far that isn't going
smoothly is I can't access my webserver from within the LAN.
I am trying to set up a http://dev.domain.tld VirtualHost as well as a
http://www.domain.tld VirtualHost, which was working fine in Apache from
the LAN when I was serving the DNS myself, and is reportedly working now
from without the LAN
I have a netgear dhcp-serving & port-forwarding router that sends all
traffic on 80, 25, & 143 to 192.168.0.3. I think either the router is
getting confused somehow with a request going out from one client, being
referred back to itself, and forwarding the request to the other client,
or it's the reverse-dns mis-match (my dynamic IP is actually
66-108-241-38.nyc.rr.com) getting in the way. (the apache logs on the
server don't register a request)
My question is, how does everybody else deal with this?
Should I continue to serve LAN DNS locally with at least some kind of
CNAME record? I'm running Bind 8 & I don't really understand 9's
"zones", but should I upgrade & create a LAN zone?
If it is a limitation of the router & I should just go back to serving
the DNS to the LAN entirely, how do I get my Bind server to "forget"
about the dyndns.org servers? I tried putting my original db file back
in place, updating the SOA timestamp & reloading bind, but it didn't
change anything.
the test domain is "kuboaa.org" & some interesting diagnostics from
within the LAN follow ("enlil" is a laptop @ 192.168.0.2).
Thanks,
Kenneth
