Free Colocation DNS
If you do not have your own DSN servers and want to set one up
to handle dns for a web site of yours here are a few of the many
choices.
For dns services here are several solutions:
1) In the first three chapters of the book "DNS & BIND" by O'Reiley
and Associates you can easily set up a DNS server on your server.
They have a version for Linux, Windows and several other OS.
2) you can get free DNS service from EveryDNS.net.
Setting Up A Static Route To Reduce Unnecessary
Internet Bandwidth Use
Here is a solution for your data backup to make it so
that data backup on your local network does not get counted as
bandwidth used on the MRTG stats bandwidth usage page..
You need to tell your machines the permanent static route so that it
recognizes that the ip addresses for your other machine are on your
local network. This will allow your transfer of data to go over your
switch and back to your other machine and not be noticed by our
switch.
Different OS can do this but they do this in a different way.
Here is an example of how to do this with RedHat Linux.
Similar to Solaris you have to use script language, but the file
already exists at /etc/sysconfig/static-routes. You can modify this
file by hand or use the linuxconf command.
There are now two kind of routes which you could implement, the
network or station based routes:
eth0 net 204.32.38.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.100.254
eth0 net 204.32.39.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.100.254
or for host based routes (like you need for static NAT) say:
eth0 net 204.32.38.12 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw 192.168.1.12
eth1 net 204.32.38.13 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw 192.168.2.13
which means route the valid-ip address 204.32.38.12 to the private
ip 192.168.1.12. eth0 is the name of the gateway NIC. As example
eth0 is the internal NIC and eht1 is the DMZ NIC. You find the name
of the NIC with a "ifconfig -a" command.
The static-routes file is executed by the /etc/rc2.d/S10network
script.
For adding a route temporary, you may use command line:
route add -host 204.32.38.12 gw 192.168.1.12
route add -host 204.32.38.13 gw 192.168.2.13
