Hi, This is the simplest question probably ever made. I have always set up a DNS BUT for only for LANs. 1. For implementing a DNS server in Internet the machine MUST have 2 NICs ? one with a public IP and one with a private one? 2. Let's say i need 2 DNS servers, in different machines, within a Master and Slave configuration DNS Master: ns1.domain.com DNS Slave: ns2.domain.com In this scenario i would need both machines with 2 NICs each and 2 public IPs an 2 private IPs? Thanks a lot...
No, you just need 2 different IP addresses - either on same box or not, on same NIC or not. OF course, 2 boxes will give you the most redundancy
HI id10t, thanks for answering when you tell me "2 different IP addresses"... you mean a public and a private one? right?
no. i mean who shall contact the private ip for dns lookups? so two official IP adresses. the only case where "private" IPs help, in case you have a private network in behind so that the dns servers stand in the perimeter / dmz.
