Topic: Domain management

[edbneutron]

Hello!

I have a simple question:
How can i add an external subdomain to SME-Server which is not managed by SME itself?

Explanation:

My SME-Server:  mysmeserver.com

My external domain:  mydomain.com

I want to have an ibay with wiki.mydomain.com on the SME-Server, but NOT the DNS-A record (mydomain.com).

Is this possible?
Thanks!

Look in the administration manual and you'll figure it out: http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:Administration_Manual:Chapter13#Hostnames_and_addresses

You can add wiki.mydomain.com A-record on external DNS server as domain (not host) and point it to your SME server address, while keeping A-record for mydomain.com pointing to external server's address.

Thanks for the replies!

I figured out how to set an ibay to an external domain.

But there is another thing...

we have 2 additional servers inside our lan that will be accessible from outside.

lets call them aux1 and aux2.
So they would be reachable with aux1.mydomain.com and aux2.mydomain.com
with IP-Adresses 123.123.123.1 and 123.123.123.2.
Inside the LAN they have the IP 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3.

The SME-Server is the DNS for our LAN. So i would need to make an host entry for aux1/aux2.mydomain.com and set them to the internal IP-Adress.
Here the same problem occurs. I am not able to manage single domain entries without managing the whole domain.
... i guess thats not possible...

Regards,
Edgar

You might look at http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Proxy_Pass to see if it will let you do what you want.

I *think* that Proxy Pass will let you have the domains on the SME, but return the contents of various internal servers to both internal and external users...

No, an A record will do. Ed might also need to add a domain wiki.mydomain.com in the server-manager (depending on how the wiki software is installed/configured).

SME server has no support for multiple external IP addresses (but you don't need them to have multiple websites).
