I have the following situation
internet internet
| |
| |
mail server ----------- firewall
(10.21.23.20) (10.21.23.21)
|
|
intranet
(192.168.x.x)
The firewall is also a caching DNS, to speed up
lookups and overcome DNS server downtime. My
problem is that when I lookup the mail server
the address I receive from 10.21.23.21 is the
external address, as seen from outside.
I would like the address to be solved for
internal machines as the shortcut 10.21.23.20.
The routes are correct according to traceroute.
I thought that if I modified the firewall's
/etc/hosts including the address of the mail
server as 10.21.23.20 and setting nsswitch.conf
to hosts: files dns
would make it work, but they cached address seems
to have priority.
I also restarted named, but the situation remains.
What should be the correct configuration?
Thank you,
Gerardo
