Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Help requested on DNS problem
Ok that means that the domain is registered but there is no current tag holder, Do you wish to host your own DNS for your domain? Or do you want demon to do it. Robin. At 18:18 01/10/02 +0100, you wrote:
Hi,
Thanks for your posting
www.nic.uk returns the following information. Is this the TAG info you are referring to or is it missing from this basic info? WHOIS query result:

Firstly, are you or Demon going to host the DNS of your global domain?
Secondly, go to www.nic.uk stick in your domain ( don't put the www at the start ) in the search
it will then tell you who currently holds the TAG.
If the TAG holder is not yourself or Demon then you need to fax a letter to Nominet on headed paper asking them to transfer the domain, you need to check what information you need to provide and check with Demon that they can host it.
It is not foolish at all to use your BECTA domain, and it must be registered to someone ( usually your ISP when the names were given out ).
We use our becta domain, host our own DNS for it and DNS for 2 other domains we own, we host our own web & mail services without any problems.
What Demon may mean is that they do not have the authority to transfer your domain to them, and that you need to do it.

Hi,
I've reached the limit of my (v. limited) knowledge and suspect the fault could be down a number of different factors.
I have a functioning file-sharing class C network (192.168.1.x) , using samba, based on a linux server running kernel 2.5 (SuSe 7.3).
I have configured sendmail so that we have internal email and we can access the net via our firewall box (smoothwall) and router. We are able to send surf and emails out into the world (route: network (192.168.1.x) -> firewall -> router -> ISP (Demon)).
My problem is that the outside world cannot see us. I have assigned the two IP addresses given to me by the ISP to the router and outward facing port of my firewall but although I can travel out (therefore the connection is working) nothing can see me. My ISP thinks that the problem is a DNS issue.
I (foolishly?) used my BECTA registered address myschool.LEA.sch.uk which Demon (ISP) know me by. However they argue that because LEA.sch.uk is not registered with anyone no-one has domain authority to forward stuff to me - there is a gap between sch.uk and myschool.LEA.sch.uk.
Does this sound reasonable? I wonder if I haven't made a complete hash (pun intended) of my sendmail, DNS etc setup, but I am O'Reillyed out and would welcome advice from a fresh angle. (I half suspect I have gaping security holes the size of Micro$ofts ethical defecit!)

Hi, I have (all too) successfully set up SQUID on my server. have changed the following lines n my squid.conf file acl freshford.bathnes.sch.uk src 192.168.1.0/24 http_access allow freshford.bathnes.sch.uk and now I cannot access any sites on the web at all! Not even poor old innocent google. WHat obvious thing haven't I done please? Thanks Darren Garside ICT Co-ordinator Working during his half-term like the silly sod he is.

Congratulations :-)
have changed the following lines n my squid.conf file
acl freshford.bathnes.sch.uk src 192.168.1.0/24 http_access allow freshford.bathnes.sch.uk
Well, Darren. The obvious thing here is that your "acl" consists of a single line domain-name, rather than a file containing the line you have above. While there is nothing wrong in doing this, it does make life more difficult when you come to add more sites into your restricted ACL list, should you wish to create on. I'm now 19, and it was only last year that I set up two proxy servers at a school in Dorset (Im now at University). The obvious reason as to why nothing works, is that I don't think that you can have an ACL name, as the same name as a domain that you are trying to access. So, my solution would be to try the following: ---------------snip here--------------------- acl valid_clients src 192.168.1.0/24 http_access allow valid_clients http_access deny !valid_clients -----------------end snip--------------------- The "http_access deny !valid_clients" says that if anyother machine that is not within the ACL "valid_clients" (in this case an IP address range), to simply disallow access on the internet. If I can be of any other help, let me know. -- Thomas Adam ===== Thomas Adam "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- www.linuxgazette.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
