Hi all, First post here, so thanks in advance for your help!

Here is my network setup:

Internet <-> [public IP] Router [192.168.x.x] <-> Local
Local <-> DMZ
Local <-> HostB
Local <-> HostC

I have a system set up as a DMZ which works great for accessing SSH and other various services. I have a dyndns account that points to my public IP and allows me to access my DMZ box from around the world.

I would like to make a subdomain of my current dyndns account and point it to HostB so that it can host a webserver on it, and have another subdomain point to HostC with a separate webserver on it. each would have SSH, FTP, Etc and have to not conflict with one another behind one IP.

I don't even know if it is possible, but it seems like if there is a request for dev.host.homelinux.com that packet would have to hit host.homelinux.com and could be iptable'd to be routed to the appropriate local machine somehow.

I'm not even sure what to call this kind of setup, please advise.

You need a router that can do NAT. All subdomains will have the same external IP.

I am to believe that TCP/IP carries no domain name information for iptables to filter on and my ideal setup is not possible. PLEASE correct me if you know better.

I ended up with traditional port forwarding for my uses and have a landing page with a reminder of what ports forward me to where behind a login page.
