Topic: DYNDNS redirection & web access

[mebo]

Hope to get some help with a couple of questions...

I have dyndns set up with "wildcard" enabled to send to my local SME 6.01 server.  Server is behind an SMC Barracade and port 80 is forwarded to the server.

I have no problems accessing the website with the base address (e.g. xxxx.dyndns.org) and displaying the html file in the Primary folder.  But when I add on the www prefix I cannot connect (e.g. www.xxxx.dyndns.org).

I thought SME would natively handle this. Do I need to set up a virtual server on SME to handle the www.xxxx.dyndns.org case??  The documentation seems to indicate it should work ok.

For anyone interested, the solution to this problem was to open up UDP port 53 on the SMC firewall and point it to the SME server.  I assume this let TinyDNS do its job.
