Hi,

 

I'm setting up a new network where I´ll have webhosting servers behind
the PIX.

I get problems with the DNS, because when the servers that are behind
the firewall ask about any record the DNSs respond with the public IP,
and when it try to connect, It can´t. About it I can't send an email
from MAIL1 to MAIL2.

So, essentially, the DNS request never traverses the firewall, so
the firewall cannot intervene in the request at all (I'm assuming
from what you say that the DNS servers are in the same network
as the WWW servers)

You'll either have to configure views on your DNS servers or have
duplicate infrastructures, one for your inside and one for your
outside.

Alternately, use the public IP addresses behind the firewall for
the WWW hosting, rather than doing NAT. This may entail splitting
the network outside up somehow, however, and may be problematic.

I was reading about the alias command, but it appears to be used when
you have the DNSs outside your network.


I believe it has mostly been replaced by the DNS keyword added to the
static statement, in addition.

Anybody knows how I can resolve it?

 

Below is a basic configuration of my pix and the diagram of the
network.

 

Thanks,

 

Charly

 

Cisco PIX Firewall Version 6.1(1)


You might well want to look into a newer version of code; 6.3 or 7.0
