Hi. Researching dns/naming. (sortof fed!!) Assume I have a server -rackspace/digitalocean/etc.. And I and I want to serve the DNS via something like cloudflare. The test server(s) aren't going to be webservers, they're going to be used to test apps.. As far as I can tell, most of the sites say you need to already have a "name" from a domain name provider. That can't be right, can it!! One can have a dns process internal to an org, providing dns names to machines all over the place. Granted, those machines/names might be internal/private. So, does one need an "actual" real name for an externally facing server in order to process the DNS so one can do a "ssh test@xxxxxxx" or can you use something like "ssh test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" At the same time.. if you do need a real/actual "domain name" for the externally facing box, digitalocean provides for both public/private networks for the linux instances. If you run a private network, would you then be able to create your own name for the internal instances that would be available to the other instances on the private network?? I've tried asking IRC/support forums, etc.. but not getting any progress.. Thanks for helping me get my head around this.. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
