v7beta8 and name resolution (dns)
« on: December 17, 2005, 02:37:25 AM »
Don't know if this is just me & my box, or if it is a known issue (or 'feature'?) but the test lan that I have setup behind a v7beta8 machine is resolving using the external nics IP information. In other words, the server - operating in server & gateway mode - is called 'gateway' on the inside. 'Gateway' is 192.168.201.1. If I ping gateway from a client on the lan side of this box, I would expect it to come back like so:
 
C:\>ping gateway

.... but it doesn't. Instead, it is reporting the forward facing nics address. (??) http://whatismyip.com confirms this.  Have I mucked something up or is this a known issue? I searched a little here in the forums but couldn't find anything...
 
Thanks
