problems with forward and reverse lookup tables
Post by deech123 on Dec 13, 2007 9:14:27 AM CST


Hi guys,

I'm working as beginner IT in a new company.
One of the first things they ask me to do is this :
we have 2 servers, each one has his own ip.
We have one domain name with one external ip.
I want to use something like test.domain.com to go to server1,
and our normal www.domain.com to server2.
this is some information : (ip's are fake but to show what I've done)

server1 : ip 192.168.98.1
server2 : ip 192.168.98.2

our external ip : 81.246.103.45

in our dns server i made this entries in de forward lookup zones :
Name : test
type : Host(A)
Data : 192.168.98.2
(so this is like test.domainname.com that I want to direct to 192.168.98.2)

Name : www
type : Host(A)
Data : 192.168.98.1
(so this is like www.domainname.com that I want to direct to 192.168.98.1)

then in de reverse lookup zones i have :
Name : 192.168.98.1
Type : Pointer (PTR)
Data : www.domainname.com

Name : 192.168.98.2
Type : Pointer (PTR)
Data : test.domainname.com

but this is not working.
Both servers have iis with one website on port 80

and what is strange,
If we surf in the company to test.domain.com then it work and we see the site on server2, do we surf to www.domain.com we see the site on server1

but if we come from an extern network (like all our clients) and they enter www.domain.com they see the site on server 1, but if they surf to test.domain.com they see also the site on server1 instead of the site that is on server2.

I hope somebody can help me a little bit (or a total solution :-) )

I thank everybody in advance for there effort to give me some info.

with my best regards,
Deech

I found this website http://iputil.com, that provides some cool tools for IP and a software to run website form a personal computer and dynamic IP.
