I am trying to set up my NAT'd home network / world webserver, and am running into a dual personality dilemna in the server.
Question:
How should I configure my /etc/hosts and BIND to accomidate both the inside and outside NICs of my networks. I have two addresses, but only one hostname for my linux gateway. Which one gets the name? I have a fqdn, but it gets confusing when the hostname portion of the fqdn is also my computer's inside network hostname.
Here's the situation:
I have a linux box as my firewall / web-server / gateway to the internet; also my linux box is running bind and squid to cache only for my internal network.
I am using my cable modem in bridge mode so that the linux box actually has the DHCP'd address given to me by roadrunner.
The linux box has 2 nics, eth0, the outside, eth1 the inside private network, 192.168.123.1
Does anyone have any light to shed on this dual personality situation? I'm a bit lost on an elegant solution, and have just hacked a solution in my /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 door.grrfrog.net localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.123.1 door.localdomain door
192.168.123.50 mabel.localdomain mabel
192.168.123.51 anne.localdomain anne
