- Can host.internal.local be given CNAME host.legit.com to be on web
- Posted by Angela on March 6th, 2004
If one uses the recommended host.madeupname.local domain
structure for an internal machine, can that same machine
be given a legitimate CNAME such as www.realname.com so
that the machine can provide anonymous web access, for
example to a site that it is hosting?
Or is it necessary to use a subdomain structure like
w2k.realname.com for example?

Hi Angela,
You should use another DNS Server for your public DNS zone. Setup the zone
you public zone example www.realname.com and there you can create a A record
(Host) mapping to the particular computer or server. My advice is also to
use another network card for public access.

Thank you, what you are saying is definitely the right way
to go about it.
But out of pure technical curiousity, would it work to
have a NAT'd network with a madeup.local domain and a
NAT'd ip to the private address plus a CNAME for
www.realname.com to www.madeupname.local?
Thanks again.

Yes Angela, if the realname.com and madeupname.local zones exist on same
server I suppose. But that's not a recommended scenario and provide bad
security.
