[opensuse] Advice on How to setup SuSE Server for network
Howdy All... I 'm about to replace the server in a Small Office. The old server was a Dell with SUSE 10.0, and dell will nolonger extend the hardware support, so a new one was ordered. SUSE did a great job, over many years. Before I setup the new server I'd like advice on how to network should be configured. The network (like all real world networks) is a little complicated. what we got is: 1) Webhosting provider (www.genotec.ch) which hosts our domain: www.braunpat.ch. The webhoster provides "external" email services and dns resolution services for our domain. 2) The office is connected to internet via a adsl modem provided by magnet.ch. We have a "real" ip -address (assigned to the modem / Nat / Router). This IP address has been added to the Name resolutionas office.braunpat.ch. The modem is configured to pass ssh (not on port 22) to the server. 3) The server has both External and Internal ethernet cards, does firewall and nat routing, dhcp, samba, and database services (sybase) for the office network. The server provides local email services to the office (local email does not go to the internet). Each user has an account on braunpat.ch and an identical (username) on the suse server. I use fetchmail to download the mail from braunpat to the server, The clients pick it up there with outlook. The reasoning behind this elaborate setup is a bit long so I'll spare you all the explanations, and just jump to my questions: What I don't really understand is how the domains names should be setup for this situation. Webpaage: www.braunpat.ch Modem/(Server from outside): office.braunpat.ch Server from internal net: server.office.braunpat.ch? Local network machines: ws01.office.braunpat.ch? What do I put in the YAST network configuration panes? Thx for your patience, and any help Jerry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
