My question is on what I assume to be IP masking. When someone punches in my domain name to reach the web site running on FBSD, their browser's address field (well, actually it's the DNS doing it) instantly translates the domain name into my actual IP address and port number. This is alarming for security reasons, as well as relatives who know nothing about technology asking inane questions about the disappearing web site name.
Um. I consulted my magic eight ball, and it translated your question as:
] I'm trying to host a web site on a FreeBSD machine. My registrar, godaddy, ] offers a redirect service which sends requests from "www.mydomain.com" to your ] FreeBSD machine, which possibly has a dynamic IP?
If so, have you set the hostname of the server via this section in your httpd.conf file:
# 127.0.0.1 is the TCP/IP local loop-back address, often named localhost. Your # machine always knows itself by this address. If you use Apache strictly for # local testing and development, you may use 127.0.0.1 as the server name. # ServerName www.mydomain.com
Also, are you running apache on port 80, or is that being blocked by your ISP?
