Hi. I'm new to DNS and bind. My ISP doesn't support local loopback, and I have a domain I just bought (andrewclarke.ca). I'm hosting this at home, behind a debian-based firewall/router.
The problem is that if I go to andrewclarke.ca or my static IP from within my home network I get a connection refused. My IP returns pings but that's about it. I figured I'd set up bind to resolve *.andrewclarke.ca back to the internal IPs for whatever service I want.
I've managed to get bind to where if I "ping www.andrewclarke.ca" with bind running I get "unknown host". So at least I know I'm doing something partially right. What I want though is for me to get 192.168.16.5 or whatever my internal web server IP is, rather than my public IP which is what I get from my public nameservers.
If anyone has any idea what I'm doing wrong here, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
- Andrew.
