I just recently purchased a domain name and am wondering on a few things.
Which package would be best to create my own name server? A lot of places
have it, but for an extra fee. Why pay when I have Debian is my slogan <grin>.
I have done some researching on BIND and have looked through a lot of it's
docs and FAQs, but none to which really seemed to pertain to my individual
situation/question. Excuse my choppy explanation, but I'll give it a whirl..
If I have myname.com and I register my IP as the DNS, what do I need to use
to let the debian box resolve subdomains (server1.myname.com,
server2.myname.com, etc etc) to the outside world. The second would also
deal with firewall issuing. Since my main FTP/MAIL/WEB debian box is behind
a SOHO firewall, is there anyway way to allow the DNS to resolve to
internal IP's as well? For instance, a completely different box with a
different internal IP running a completely different FTP/MAIL/WEB server?
Sorry if it sounds like babble, but that is about the best way I can
explain it.
Thanks in advance.
