freebsd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

Now i'm using DSL with static ip address and on my home FreeBSD server
there is group of servers serving my family and friends. Servers are
qmail, djbdns and apache.

okay.

I'm doing dns for my domain, mail server and http is also under my full
control.

okay

Instead of public static ip i'll have only bimap. Provider don't want to
route my public address into his LAN, because he don't want to waste
additional public ip's. Now i have a problem.

I'm not sure, if it will be possible to run DNS server, mail server and
web server in this enviroment. Just now i found, that qmail first checks
if his ip is resolved MX record for domain it's serving and refuses to
start, if it's not. And i'm bimapped, so it's not ;-).

qmail does not... it checks for any valid MX record for a domain. You have to publish your MX records for your domain publicly using tinydns, part of the djbdns package, or some other DNS service. You will never receive mail, or get hits on Apache if you do not have published you DNS records somehow. There are some free services that will allow you to sign on and they will update your IP addresses on their DNS if they are dynamic.


I don't know anything about qmail particularly, but if you're running
your own DNS, you should be able to report anything you want to the
DNS queries of your own mail daemon...

exactly...
