DNS with IIS problem

J

Jeraldleung

Hi all,

I am a new system engineer in a small business and now facing a
problems which I dont know if it is related to the DNS...

I am now having a public domain (e.g. www.abc.com) pointing to our IIS
server (IP 10.0.1.2) using NAT in the router. Now, I want to add
another public domain to my IIS (e.g. www.xyz.com). What can I do on
my DNS. Any record should I need to add in the Zone area?

Thanks all.

Assuming the public xyz.com zone is hosted at an external DNS hosting
provider; and the www.xyz.com site is the only locally hosted service,
create a new Forward Lookup Zone named www.xyz.com, then in the zone create
a new host, leave the name field blank and give it the local IP of the web
server.
If you do this, only the www.xyz.com name will resolve internally, the rest
of the names in xyz.com will be forwarded to the external DNS.

One of the problems with NAT is it will only port re-map one external IP to
one internal IP. If you want to add this website to your current internal
webserver with a private IP, using "All Unassigned" in both website
properties, and are using hostheaders for the websites, then the IP for the
www record of both domain names need to only point to the external NAT IP.

Thanks for your answer.

I have solve this problem by using 2 External Public IP and 2 Internal
Private IP at the same PC through NAT in the Firewall.

Thanks!!

Most routers don't support multiple IPs, what model is your router?

FYI, The router in Win2k/Win2k3 RRAS supports mapping/reserving multiple
public IPs to multiple internal IPs.

I'm curious of the router model as well.

This is a router provided by the ISP and I dont exactly know what’s
the answer. Actually, I need to call the ISP to configure the NAT
mapping for me.
