DNS Resolve from the Internet
Hello: Please help me get this straight. I am confused. I have a dnscache running at home on a DMZ network. I would like to know if I can have friends on other networks (in the Internet) to use my server as their resolver server? I have a firewall in place but, I'm directing all the udp traffic to port 53 to my dns-server; also my dnscache server is accepting connections from those networks ip's. Can I do this or do I need to register ($$$$$) a the dns-server? Thanks in advance for your help.... ===== "An ounce of gold cannot buy an ounce of time." - Anonymous www.whmicro.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

jose, There should not be an issue with it. Just provide your friends the IP address. As long as they can connect directly to the IP everthing should work. U might want tcp and udp on port 53 and 113 On Thu, 31 Oct 2002, jose sanchez wrote:

Provided neither you nor your service provider are blocking access to that port it should be easily possible.
I've set up a few official and several ad hoc name servers and have never needed to do much that was hardly official. In the case of registering a domain, you do need to provide the IP addresses of registered hosts, but there was not a specific charge from network solutions, and they seem to be great ones for finding ways of charging you for things. -PG -- Peter Gutowski - peter@linuxchamps.com - phone: (413)531-0123

Prodvided neither you your ISP blocks the port and you IP address doesn't change, should be possible.

I've never experienced a charge to setting up a service on server. If the server is Primary for a domain, you will need to register it, but that's usually part of the domain registration fee. -PG -- Peter Gutowski - peter@linuxchamps.com - phone: (413)531-0123
