Custom DNS entry
« on: August 20, 2008, 01:31:35 AM »
Hello,

I have to server, my sme server as gateway and another server.

What I want is setup a domain in smeserver to entirely point to my other server. If I add a domain with server-manager I can only have it to point to my SME not an other ip address on the local network. How can I achieve this please?

Regards

lox,

I'm assuming your talking about setting a redirect from your sme server running in gateway mode to another sme server......

Still left with a few questions.....are the both on the same subnet or in different locations?

First thought which comes to mind would be to write a custom template for the apache config file?? which redirects to the
web site you want to access.....although not sure of the security ramifications......

Good luck.....

Look in the FAQ for Proxy Pass, also look in Email FAQ for delegating a domain's email.

Both of those may be enough to achieve what you want.

well , I thought about proxypass, but it seems the target server sees the connection comming from the sme (ip address)

Yes, I need the real ip of the visitor.

Isn't there anywhere to add a line like "mysite.com  ipadress" ?

Regards.
