* Setting up a LAN to use DSL - Getting quite desparate - using public IP on router with private IP on clients

Hi all,

Around three weeks ago our new ISP sent us an OpenNetworks 501R DSL router
that they say supports multiuple IP addresses and static-NAT. We've been up
and down so many times, we are getting desparate to resolve this issue once
and for all...

I have included the contents of all of the configuration files I can find in
the hope that this will help quickly identify a solution. Please forgive me
for the length of this email.

We have two linux servers and an NT server, with a dozen or so XP clients,
and a couple of MACs.

The first Linux server runs as primary DNS (Bind 8), email server (sendmail
8.9.3), and Web server (apache 1.3.6). I also use Telnet and ftp on the
server from out of the office, and we provide a web based email service to
our staff.

The second Linux server is used for secondary DNS, and as a simple means of
backing up files from the primary server.

The NT server is used for our Primary Domain Controller for network access,
storage of our company data and some applications.

I can telnet and ftp to the primary linux server from outside the office.
But I can't get any web sites working. Any browsers I use say "Server not
found or DNS error".

As the ISP will not give us public IP addresses for each machine, I've
converted from IP based web site hosting to name based using the
NameVirtualHost directive in Apache.

The router supposedly NATs all traffic from a public IP address to the
private IP address, regardless of port. This is required because we
telnet/ftp etc to all of the servers from time to time, and portmapping
would be quite cumbersome (we'd have to assign different port numbers for
telnet on each machine etc)...

Email in and out appears to be working fine, for all domains. But I haven't
really got virtual hosting for email configured, so the addresses are global
(right?)

There are essentially three problems.

1. nslookup will not work
2. Web pages are not served, for any of the hosted sites, from external
clients
3. Web pages are not served, for any of the hosted sites, from internal
clients

The server machines in question are named thus:

qpbd999 - 192.168.0.3 - Primary DNS/Apache 1.3.6/Sendmail 8.9.3/Bind 8
qpbd998 - 192.168.0.4 - Secondary DNS, Slackware, Linux 2.2.6, bind 8
qpbd000 - 192.168.0.2 - PDC. Windows NT 4, service pack 6a

The clients use Windows XP, and have private 192.168.0.??/255.255.255.0
addresses, using 192.168.0.1 as the gateway and 192.168.0.3 as the primary
DNS and 192.168.0.4 as the secondary DNS.

I suspect my DNS is set up incorrectly, and the web server too. But there
may be more. For example, the reverse lookup fails. nslookup reports it
cannot find the name for 61.95.1.222 (the primary DNS), the secondary
doesn't respond then nslookup dies (goes back to bash prompt).

192.168.0.1 is the gateway (the router). 61.95.1.220 is the WAN ip.

The router is supposedly natting as follows...

61.95.1.221 <--> 192.168.0.2 qpbd000
61.95.1.222 <--> 192.168.0.3 qpbd999
61.95.1.223 <--> 192.168.0.3 qpbd998

The primary DNS server is running on 192.168.0.3
The secondary DNS server is running on 192.168.0.4

The primary is also running sendmail and apache.

I can ping any private address from any server or client. I can only ping
the public address from the machine to which it is "assigned" (NAT'd). Eg I
can't go to 61.95.1.223 (192.168.0.4), and ping 61.95.1.222 and vice versa.
My ISP tells me this is normal behaviour for at least this router (huh?).

I want to be able to get to all 5 hosted sites from our internal clients and
want the public to be able to get to them from outside. I also need to be
able to telnet and ftp to server from outside for support.

So the configuration....

Firstly. pinging www.quickpages.net.au from internally (at the server), gets
this response...

qpbd999:/etc# ping www.quickpages.net.au
PING qpbd999.quickpages.net.au (61.95.1.222): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 61.95.1.222: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=3.0 ms
64 bytes from 61.95.1.222: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=3.1 ms
64 bytes from 61.95.1.222: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=3.0 ms

Pinging 192.168.0.3 gets this response...

qpbd999:/etc# ping www.quickpages.net.au
PING qpbd999.quickpages.net.au (61.95.1.222): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 61.95.1.222: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=3.0 ms
64 bytes from 61.95.1.222: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=3.1 ms
64 bytes from 61.95.1.222: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=3.0 ms

Pinging 61.95.1.222 from 192.168.0.3 gets this response...

qpbd999:/etc# ping 61.95.1.222
PING 61.95.1.222 (61.95.1.222): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 61.95.1.222: icmp_seq=0 ttl=254 time=3.0 ms
64 bytes from 61.95.1.222: icmp_seq=1 ttl=254 time=3.0 ms
64 bytes from 61.95.1.222: icmp_seq=2 ttl=254 time=3.0 ms

Pinging 61.95.1.222 from outside also works.
Pinging www.quickpages.net.au responds with 'reply from 61.95.1.222...
time=35.3ms' (ie it works).
Attempting to get to the site via a browser fails with DNS error.

It appears to me that there are several inconsistencies. the 3 and 4 in the
revers lookup implies 192.168.0.3 and 192.168.0.4 doesn't it? If I put
222/223 in they don't work either (would they imply 192.168.0.222 and
192.168.0.223).

There are few problems with your configuration files.
The most important concearn the routing process. It seems that you don't
route the 61.95.1.X class over your internal 192.168.0.0 network.

The fastest way to do that is to use ip alias for your linux boxes , that
is to enable ip alias into your kernel and to write into your rc.inet1
something like this:
ifconfig eth0:1 61.95.1.221
and 
ifconfig eth0:1 61.95.1.222
on the second linux box.

Your routing table will have entries for the 61.95.1.X network.
Of course, if you have only a small part of the ip address class, you have
to use the coresponding subclass. Ask your ISP about your subclass. It
will give you something like (sample): 61.95.1.204/255.255.255.224 that is
32 ip addresses. 

Another way to solve this is to masquerade the 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
class with your DSL router (if the router can perform this task) or to use
the secondaru DNS linux box with 2 network cards as a router. 

I recently (today) scanned your web server and I noticed that no apache
server is running.

Don't use NameVirtualHost line (Delete or comment out the line). Use only
VirtualHost directive.
VirtualHost 61.95.1.222
Also, you shuld use the directive "Listen" like this:
Listen 61.95.1.222:80

(Also, see below for a few more comments)

Have a nice day.

Yes, the addresses are global.
The record form DNS database says that qpbd999 is the responsable NS for
the entire domain. You should use a lower preference value (curently you
use 30 - notice that lower value represents higher logical
preference). This is becouse qpbd999 is your primary mail exchanger. 5
will be a great choice. Increment the serial no. and then restart the
named daemon afther you alter the number.

This has nothing to do with NAT. You are on the local machine, wich knows
(from his internal ip table) the route to the local interface. So pinging
the address is usefull only to see that the eth0 is up and the ip table is
set up correctly.

This is wrong. It seems that you mixt up 192.168.0.0 with 61.95.1.X
It must be like that: 
222 IN PTR qpbd999.quickpages.net.au.
223 IN PTR qpbd998.quickpages.net.au.
221 IN PTR qpbd000.quickpages.net.au. 
This is the reverse zone for the 61.95.1.X zone. You should modify the
named.conf file also.

This should be like that:

zone "start_ip_address-stop_ip-address.1.95.61-in-addr.arpa" in {
type master
file pri/rev.quickpages.hosts";
};
where start and stop ip addresses must be the first (network) and the
last-1 (broadcast-1) ones from your subclass (as I said before, ask
your ISP).

You must add a separate zone (in fact 2 of them, one for the direct
another for the reverse of the 192.168.0.0 network - this is if you want
to resolve the 192.168.0.network.

Hi Horia,

thanks for your response.

The problem still exists.

I removed the name virtual host, but appache complained that I needed it to
use the namebased virtual hosting, so I had to put it back in.

btw: The apache server has been running at all times. This is what the
problem is. No one can connect to it.

I put "220-224.1.95.61.in-addr-arpa..." in named.conf, and changed the PTR
records in the reverse lookup file. This made no difference.

I still cannot access the web sites from either internally or externally.
nslookup still complains it can't resolve the names, though now it fails
instantly whereas befoer it took two full minutes.

I don't have a subnet. The ISP, who are being particularly uncooperative,
have given me 4 IP addresses 61.95.1.220 to 61.95.1.223. The first for the
router, and the other three for each of the servers. As per rc.inet1 the
actual machine IP is a 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 network.

Remember, the router is supposedly handling rotuing between public and
private IP addresses.

What else could I try?
