Linux DNS
Is their a way in linux to have an entry in the dns files to look something like this database.xxxx.com IN A 123.12.12.12 8888
ASKER
I have a firewall on my network, this machine that I want 123.12.12.12 8888, database.xxx.com, is running on port 8888 of my firewall and I want to be able to use a url database.xxx.com instead of www.xxx.com:8888. When potential browsers of the net enter this URL I want them to access the httpd daemon that is on the machine inside the firewall where the database server resides. I have tried multiple instances but everytime I try to restart named daemon it states that their is an error in the named file. What do I need to do in order for it to be like so
database IN A 123.12.12.12 8888 --> using that specific port which is in my /etc/services file as a plug-gw to the database machine inside the firewall. As of now I can access the database machine by http://123.12.12.12:8888/, but I want it to be this way instead, http://database.xxx.com.
All the help would be greatful.. if for some reason that this question is to hard for the points that I am going to award please let me know and I will increase to what I fell the points should be. I would rather have this question anwsered rather than fuss about points.
