Ok... I have set up a mail server on a 2k3 machine.. This same machine is the domain controller for a local network (dns entry mynet.local) and the webhost for my website (dns entry- mynet.com)
The local network and web host are working perfectly and have been working for months now..
I can access the mail server as long as I use the local address (mynet-lymp2u.mynet.local). However, if I try to use an outside domain call (mail.mynet.com) it fails..
I have set up an MX in the DNS that points to the local address and a host (A) entry (mail.mynet.com) that points to the ip address (although I don't think that I need it) in the mynet.com forward lookup zone.
I would greatly appreciate some information on how I can set up my DNS for the mynet.com zones that will recognize mail.mynet.com as a pointer to the local address of the mail server..
I can put up my entire DNS listing if that will help..
Also, I will need (in the near future) to add another website (under a different domain name).. Is it possible to set up IIS6 to serve more than one website and if so do I have to have a second IP address for the second domain? Also, How would I set up my DNS if I don't have to have a second IP address?
Thanks everyone,
Alexander
