Topic: Some capability questions and help

[achandra]

Hello. I have some capability questions and perhaps some suggestions for setup help. I have read through the excellent guide and made strides where I could. Hope people can help with this:

I have successfully setup SME Server and it is server/gateway mode. I have also successfully setup a dhcp reservation starting from 192.168.0.20-192.168.0.253. The other ips are 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.19 which are a static ip reservation.

I also have 3 other boxes outside of my 192.168.0.X that sit on the same external subnet ip block as my external interface on the SME. 1 box acts as external DNS server. The second box acts a mail-server. Im pretty confident that the external DNS server has a record for the MX record and Web site.
The thrid server is a application server. Anyhow this is my plan:

1) Id like to protect my resources and move the mail/web server and appserver  onto SME based servers and  have a internal web/mail server put to in my lan area..and NOT put it on the same server as my firewall server but port forward to another server internally.

 What ports, and setup is necessary to get this to happen. By the way lets assume that a basic website for foo.org is what needs to be served up along with mail.foo.org. Also the previous mail server used Maildirs and I need to migrate it. Any suggestions??

2) How do I use SME for external DNS requests? or is this not possible with SME currently??

3) The third application server is also webbased. I know I can set up a "host reservation" but Id like to pull that server inside and protect it to.
Its name is appserverfoo.foo.org.

4) making backups of mail to DVD/cdrom ( backup2 only has tape support?)

So in conclusion I need -

Server 1- Gateway/firewall providing dhcp to internal hosts + VPN

Server 2 -
web - foo.org, www.foo.org (access is both public and private)
mail.foo.org -  imap,pop,ssl web, ( access is both private and public)
Potentially acting as a Domain controller
Backups on this server to DVD

Server 3 -

appserverfoo.foo.org ( access both public and private)

Thanks -
