hey guys! how r ya? i have little problem here. i have setup a linuxbox(rh9) in local area network(my college) here and the hostname is student. how can i configure this linuxbox so i can access its web server when typing http://student.mycollegename.edu at any other network pc? right now i just only can access it by its ip address let says http://10.3.1.1

Can i do that? then can i access the linux box outside my college LAN?

i just guess by myself, it something to do with dns, thats y im asking here . Anyone?

thanx in advance!

yeah, it's possible, but all the computers at the college has to use your linux box as the resolver. Are you able to do this?

You can't do this by yourself, unless you control the nameservers for mycollegename.edu (and I strongly suspect you don't). You could try talking to the people who run the DNS for mycollegename.edu and see if they will map student.mycollegename.edu over to your computer.

oh I see, then it's very simple. Just edit the DNS settings for student.mycollegename.edu to point to the IP address at home. It won't disrupt anything. Just get on the server, pull up Microsoft DNS Manager (if using MS DNS) and edit the IP address for the student host for that domain.

dns_rdata_fromtext: pz/linux.bogus:14: near eol: unexpected end of input


can anyone tell me whats wrong with my linux.bogus?

here is the code

Quote:
@ IN SOA ns.linux.bogus. hostmaster.linux.bogus. (
199802151 ; serial, todays date
; + todays serial #
8H ; refresh, seconds
2H ; retry, seconds
1W ; expire, seconds
1D ) ; minimum, seconds

NS ns ; Inet Address of name server
MX10 mail ; Primary Mail Exchange
MX20 mail.friend.bogus. ;Secondary Mail Exchange

localhost A 127.0.0.1
ns A 10.3.1.111
mail A 10.1.1.13


and what the meaning with A record?

Quote:
Two things must be noted about the SOA record. ns.linux.bogus must be a actual machine with a A record. It is not legal to have a CNAME record for the machine mentioned in the SOA record. Its name need not be `ns', it could be any legal host name.

MX10 mail ; Primary Mail Exchange
MX20 mail.friend.bogus. ;Secondary Mail Exchange

Change that to:

MX 10 mail ; Primary Mail Exchange
MX 20 mail.friend.bogus. ;Secondary Mail Exchange

The meaning of A record? You have 3 A records in that zone of yours. An A record is a record with the 'A' sitting there. Above you have 'MX' records. And it should be obvious what the 'A' record does. It assigns an IP to a domain just like what your zone is doing.
