Question
Can this be used to resolve the problem that when on my home airport network, I can't go to a web page served on one of my home machines by using the outside address. I.e. let's say that http://photos.bozo.com from the outside world is directed to a particular machine on the local airport network (via port forwarding on the airport base station). From the outside using this address works great. But when on the local airport network, the address doesn't work. Instead I have to use the local numeric IP address to get to the page. 10.0.1.10, for example. I would like it to be the case that when on the local airport network the address photos.bozo.com would resolve to 10.0.1.10 instead of the outside world address of the base station.
Question
I solved that for my home network by running my own DNS server specifically for requests within my house. I set up a zone file for the 10.x.x.x net, and for my domains with all of my hostnames mapped to the correct 10.x address. My DHCP server tells all clients to use my DNS server. So www.brokenvaporware.com maps to 10.0.1.1 (or whatever) for clients inside my network. |
