Good info but not the solution
Authored by: tobyc on Dec 03, '02 12:23:54PM

Great info on how to set up BIND on your Mac but not the solution to the problem. What you need to do in a situation where your address is being NAT'ed is to set up port forwarding. That is forward all requests from port 80 on the public address to port 80 on the internal private address. This is really easy on an Airport hub just read the help docs.

domain name forwarding??
Authored by: p940e on Dec 03, '02 03:26:03PM

Are there any routers out there that let you use different domain names instead of just different ports??

In fact you can connect to my domain name from the outside thanks to port forwarding. But when I want to connect to it (the domain name) from a machine in the lan, I can't because there are no reverse mapping on NAT as a lot of nat router. Because I do virtual hosting on apache , I need to access to the domain name. So that's why I setup a DNS server.
