[Shorewall-users] Problem with DNS

Do you have an Active Directory with the same name as your web server - i.e.

example.com is your active directory domain, while www.example.com is your
webserver?

If so, you need to set a www host up in your Active Directory DNS, assuming
that is where your clients are pointed for DNS.

If not, I think some additional info may be needed to resolve this.

Subject: [Shorewall-users] Problem with DNS


Hi,
I set up our firewall a few weeks ago and tested it everyday attached to my
laptop and directly to our broadband sdsl line. Everything worked fine
including our webserver that is outside of our house.
Today I attached it - after two weeks successful testing - to our working
network. Everything works except the http service of our webserver. The
problem is not our webserver. I think the problem is the firewall
interacting with our internal dns.
The strange thing is, that everything works fine including ssh and ftp.

What can I do, what is wrong...

Thanks, Johannes
