Shorewall users - Aug 2004 - I can´t access from my intranet to the webserver using www.mydomain.com ....

I´m not suscribed to the list.

Hi, i have a little intranet with 2 servers, both of them are running 
mandrake 10, one of them is dedicated as firewall and router, this one use 
shorewall 2.0 and has been configured like says on the quick guide for two 
interfaces. The other one is been used as webserver, mail server and ftp 
server. I used apache 2.0 as webserver.

Thing is that i can access the webserver from the intranet and the internet, 
but i can access the server from the intranet only if i use the server IP, i 
would like to access to it using www.mydomain.com from any terminal from the 
intranet, if i do so i get: the connecction was refused when atempting  to 
contact www.mydomain.com.

I think this is a shorewall onfiguration problem, please correct me if it 
isn´t. The rest of it works fine. If i try from other networks from internet 
to access www.mydomain.com it works fine.

Don´t hesitate to ask for conf´s or debugging info.

Thanks
Emilio.

The firewall isn''t allowing http traffic from intranet to its own
internet
interface. You can change that, or you can do split-zone DNS so that
intranet clients are given the intranet address for the webserver.
