A couple of DNS queries with ISPConfig

[mphayesuk]

Ok the situation is:

2 full public nameserver names that point to 2 of my public ip addresses (ie ns1... and ns2....)

Running a Debian 4.0 server as per the setup guide. Server set with 2 local ip addresses and using a Juniper netscreen I have mip the same 2 public ips to the local ips of my server and forwarded all the ports needed.

This is working because I can ssh and port 80/81 to my server using the public addresses.

I have a bunch of domains that I have pointed directly to my nameservers (ie my servers will handle all DNS for those domains)

So I added the site into ISPConfig and assigned it to the local ip address.

And that doesnt work.... if you do a nslookup to on www.chesterfieldathletics.org.uk it resolves to the local ip address of my server not the public one.

If anyone needs anything else let me know

The ISP-Manager part and DNS-manager aprt are independant in ISPConfig. You will have to create the DNS-Records with the external IP addresses in the DNS-Manager or modify the existing ones to use the external IP address.

Not sure I know what you mean....

So you would create the new site with the local IP and then go to the DNS-Manager and then change the IP to the public one in the tab "Domain" and "Records".

Yes.

Or you create the site, do not enable the create DNS checkboxes and the create DNS records for the external IP in the DNS-Manager.

ok so now I get the shared IP error.

What causes this and how can I correct it
