 local dns server
I do not have a local dns server. I am using my router/firewall (monowall) as a caching/forwarding dns server because my dsl provider is also hosting my dns. Will creating an internal dns server cause a problem with this setup.
my hosts file
192.168.204.1 mail.manitoueng.com
and when I check hostname -f
mail.manitoueng.com
my resolv.conf points all dns requests to the firewall 192.168.204.254
the A record and the MX record on the hosting dns server both point to 63.193.58.50 which is the WAN address of my router/firewall.
Are you suggesting that I need a local dns server for the mail program to find the the local machine inside the firewall?
As you can tell, I am not a linux sys admin. |
