Configure Your Firewall


The sample network assumes that the BIND name server and Apache Web server software run on the same machine protected by a router/firewall. The actual IP address of the server is 192.168.1.100, which is a private IP address. You'll have to use NAT for Internet users to be able to gain access to the server via the chosen public IP address, namely 97.158.253.26. If your firewall is a Linux box, you may want to consider taking a look at Chapter 14, "Linux Firewalls Using iptables", describes how to do the network address translation and allow DNS traffic through to your name server.
