Re: [Servers] Can someone help with DNS resolution here?
said by Ben Zona :
Hi,
i am trying to setup a small network with one static IP and one mail server. so far all seems to work and i can access emails inside my lan, BUT here goes:
1. when inside the network i use local IP for the server that is 10.10.10.x. it would work fine. however if i try using mail.myserver.com it won't resolve and i will have error message connecting to the server.
2. similarly when i use laptop elsewhere outside my network i can connect via mail.myserver.com or public static IP, but not via 10.10.10.x.
Q: is it possible to have ONE email client connected to mail server regardless of my current location? as if mail.myserver.com was resolved automatically within and outside my local network?
connection type is IMAP
many thanks
1) NAT redirection issue perhaps?
2) 10.x.x.x is a non routable private IP range. Every internet router just drops those packets.
A: Yes, you need to configure mail.myserver.com in DNS with the public IP of your router, then configure (enable) internal NAT redirection for your internal clients on your router - if it supports it, then configure all your clients to use mail.myserver.com. |
