[OT] custom dyndns.org domain & local bind

[Kenneth Dombrowski]

Hi,

Sorry for the OT post, but a lot of people here seem to be using the dyndns.org services. I am intending to transfer my domain to my home server this week, and have set up a test domain to make sure everything goes smoothly. The only thing I've found so far that isn't going smoothly is I can't access my webserver from within the LAN.

I am trying to set up a http://dev.domain.tld VirtualHost as well as a http://www.domain.tld VirtualHost, which was working fine in Apache from the LAN when I was serving the DNS myself, and is reportedly working now from without the LAN

I have a netgear dhcp-serving & port-forwarding router that sends all traffic on 80, 25, & 143 to 192.168.0.3. I think either the router is getting confused somehow with a request going out from one client, being referred back to itself, and forwarding the request to the other client, or it's the reverse-dns mis-match (my dynamic IP is actually 66-108-241-38.nyc.rr.com) getting in the way. (the apache logs on the server don't register a request)

My question is, how does everybody else deal with this?

Should I continue to serve LAN DNS locally with at least some kind of CNAME record? I'm running Bind 8 & I don't really understand 9's "zones", but should I upgrade & create a LAN zone?

If it is a limitation of the router & I should just go back to serving the DNS to the LAN entirely, how do I get my Bind server to "forget" about the dyndns.org servers? I tried putting my original db file back in place, updating the SOA timestamp & reloading bind, but it didn't change anything.

the test domain is "kuboaa.org" & some interesting diagnostics from within the LAN follow ("enlil" is a laptop @ 192.168.0.2).

Thanks,
Kenneth
