Noip FQDN >> PfSense >> Authorative DNS
-
Hello I thought I better ask a couple questions reguarding authoritative DNS servers behind a PfSense router and how best to manage my example.net FQDN and sub domains if any.
The Setup:
-
VirtualBox host running guest VM's ( web1.sample.net / db.sample.net / ns1.sample.net / pf.sample.net )
-
As of now all VM's are running static ip in the DMZ ( still locking it down ) 192.168.100.0/28 / WAN is dhcp from another router on campus
-
two websites www.sample.net & www.xmds.sample.net hosted on web1.sample.net ( sites work locally )
-
db.sample.net runs database services for websites on web1.sample.net ( working OK ) but will be adding ssl soon
-
ns1.sample.net was for a possible future authoritive dns server to handle the sample.net fqdn ( possible ns2.sample.net in future )
-
pf.sample.net is the PfSense router
My questions:
1 - If I have my own dns name server with authority over my fqdn how could it respond to requests threw the campus modem/router and then threw the PfSense router ?
2 - Is there a way to let noip handle the domain and its subs like a reverse proxy that will not play havoc with SSL ?
3 - What ip would be used for my ns1.sample.net instead of the default noip one? campus's external ip ?
It be a a lot different if I was just going they a modem I owned threw the PfSense router and then DNS… This is a little deeper than I am used to dealing with and thought I should ask around for a answers or pitfalls that I know I might will run into. But I would like to manage my own fqdn and its subs or any other domain names that might have to be pointed to my server/servers.
Thank you
