DNS Help: Configure for local and extenal services using same domain name?

Hello all. I'm setting up a 10.5 server, have scoured these great forums and gotten close, but am still stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My network setup is as follows: Internet (2xT1) > modem > router/firewall/NAT device > XServe > switches > rest of network, clients, etc. Pretty standard, I believe.
I'd like to use this XServe on our local network/intranet/LAN only for OD, networked home directories, AFP, iCal, Time Machine, Print and Software Update.
My website is hosted on an external server.
My email is also hosted on a (different) external server.
Domain is school.edu
XServe name is xserve.school.edu
XServe is 10.0.0.25
I've gone through Apple's recommended DNS setup (supplemented by some great info found here on the forums....), and am able to connect to other Internet sites (with client's DNS server set as 10.0.0.25), but unable to connect to www.school.edu, or send/receive mail to/from mail.school.edu.
In short, connecting to external domains that are NOT related to my school are fine, but I'm unable to connect to any domain that IS related to my school.
If anyone out there can shoot me some notes on how to configure the DNS settings, zones, forwarding, etc. to accomplish this, I'd be VERY appreciative.
Thanks, in advance, to anyone who can help me out.
Cheers,
Tim

In short, connecting to external domains that are NOT related to my school are fine, but I'm unable to connect to any domain that IS related to my school.
If your server thinks it's authoritative for 'school.edu' then you have to add records for every host in the school.edu zone.
For example, if you want to be able to resolve 'www.school.edu' then you have to have a 'www' record. If you want to send/receive mail you have to add an MX record, and so on.
It doesn't matter that you're not responsible for those servers, it's just that since this machine thinks it 'owns' school.edu it will only respond with records in its own zone and won't care about what any other name server says, even if that other name server is authoritative for the zone.
FWIW, that's often why people running stub servers like this choose a separate subdomain (like 'dept.school.edu') so they can leave the main school.edu records on the main server and have full control over a subdomain.

  • Using a domain name with .mac and iWeb

    How does one go about linking a domain name to the iWeb pages/ .mac account?
    In other words, I don't want to have to give out the long web.mac.com/blahblahblah/site
    name, I'd like to just have a domain name.

    Dottonedan...
    I have replied to your thread over here...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=647660&tstart=0
    You might want to have a look at the public DNS service that I posted about.
    What you are looking for is basically a domain name server that will accept your domain name and be able to translate the words into the numbers like you mention. That's what DNS servers do. There are LOTS of DNS servers on the internet and once you get your domain name hooked into one the information will propagate within days if not hours, making your domain name functional.
    Anyways, look back at the thread you started and you'll see my post there... we'll start there and get you squared away sooner or later, i'm sure.

  • How to set same domain name for Azure Storage and Hosted Service

    I have a web application running on azure and using azure storage with blob. My application allows to edit html files that are in the azure storage to save with another name and publish them later. I am using javascript to edit the html content that
    I display in an Iframe but as the domain of my web application and the html that I try to edit are not the same, I got and this error "Unsafe JavaScript
    attempt to access frame with URL "URL1" from frame with URL "URL2". Domains, protocols and ports must match".
    I have been doing some research about it and the only way to make it work is to have the web application and the html that I want to access using javascript under the same domain. 
    So my question is: is it possible to have the same domain name in azure for the hosted service and the storage.
    Like this:
    hosted service: example.com
    storage: example.com
    By the way I already customize the domain names so they looks like this:
    hosted service <mydomainname>.com
    storage <blob.mydomainname>.com
    Actually I have my application running in another hosting and I have no problem there since I have a folder where I am storing the files that I am editing so they are in the same domain as the application. I have been thinking in to do the same with Azure,
    at least to have a folder where I can store the html file meanwhile I am editing it but I am not sure how much space I have in the hosted service to store temporary files.
    let me know if you have a good tip or idea about how to solve this issue.

    Hi Rodrigo,
    Though both Azure Blob and Azure applications support custom domain, one domain could have only one DNS record (in this case is CNAME record) at one time. For Steve's case, he has 3 domains, blog.smarx.com, files.blog.smarx.com and cdn.blog.smarx.com.
    > I would like to find a way to storage my html page that I need to edit under the same domain.
    For this case, a workaround will be adding a http handler in your Azure application to serve file requests. That means we do not use the actual blob url to access blob content but send the request to a http handler then the http handler gets the content
    from blob storage and returns it.
    Please check
    Accessing blobs in private container without Shared Access Secret key for a code sample.
    Thanks.

  • Configure the ADMIN and CLUSTER service connections to be SSL

    Can you configure the ADMIN and CLUSTER service connections to be SSL
    rather than tcp?
    I was wondering about the present or future ability to secure other
    connection services with SSL. Can you now or are there future plans
    to configure the ADMIN and CLUSTER service connections to be SSL
    rather than tcp? I suppose I should add the PORTMAPPER to that list.
    My primary interest is for an SSLCLUSTER service in the case where
    two brokers are connected over a non-trusted network. It may
    not be too difficult to secure all the services the same way, but
    perhaps that is on the TODO list.
    A related question is if there are plans to add SSL with client
    authentication as a stronger authentication mechanism than 'simple'
    username and password. I believe you could get the username from
    the client certificate's DN and continue to use the same LDAP user
    repository for access control. I think this is similar to the way
    that BEA's Weblogic server does it.
    Finally should it be possible to deploy the HTTP tunnel servlet to
    a webserver (such as iPlanet Web Server) configured to do SSL with
    client authentication as a work-around to get stronger authentication
    with the current release of the product? Or am I perhaps missing some
    obvious and important detail? :) I guess I would like to know it's been
    done already or is at least possible before I try and do it myself.

    3 scenarios involving SSL are:
    1: JMS client <------- SSL -------> iMQ broker
    2: iMQ admin <------- SSL -------> iMQ broker
    3: iMQ broker <------- SSL -------> iMQ broker (i.e clusters)
    (1) is currently supported in iMQ 2.0
    (2) and (3) is not supported in iMQ 2.0. No concrete plans yet to support
    it in the near future but we'll definitely consider doing it if we
    hear a lot of demand for it.
    ]A related question is if there are plans to add SSL with client

    This is on our todo list, but due to other more pressing issues we
    have not been able to address it. We will continue to keep it
    on our potential list of new features.
    Sorry if I sound pretty wishy-washy in my responses above, but the fact
    is that the things you mentioned above had to take a backseat
    to other more critical features. That and the usual time/resource
    constraints caused them not to be implemented.

    Yes, this should be possible (although I don't believe we've tried it here).
    The client authentication here is really only between the JMS client and the
    web server (not between the tunnel servlet and the iMQ broker) and should
    be similar in setup to any other java application talking to iPlanet Web
    Server.

  • I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

    It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

  • HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

    Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand  that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

    Just to explain what I just wrote to Laundry Bleach:
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
    But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
    Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
    “when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
    I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
    In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
    “You can still use it one all of your Macs.  If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer.  After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
    “It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
    I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date.  I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected.  For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
    The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
    Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

  • Security for SOA and Web Services

    Dipak Chopra's 09 Dec 04 "Security for SOA and Web Services" piece has been a terrific starter for me as I start to delve into this topic. Does SAP/the SDN plan to publish an SAP-specific roadmap to show the adherence to and adoption of these standards in NetWeaver? (Or maybe there is such a published roadmap that I am unaware of?)

    Hi Randy
    SAP follows and participates in Security and other Web services standards very closely as we recognize the opportunity they present our customers for developing solutions and integrating systems faster at lower cost.
    However many of the standards are still in development and so are not quite yet ready for "prime time". This means that we can't really publish a "road map" as it would be continually changing. However, if you want an idea on which standards SAP thinks are important, please take a look at this presentation [1] which was delivered at the last Tech Ed.

    How can I get the 23 July update to load onto my iPad. I haven't been able to access my documents or work for weeks and need to use it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

    Hello Arthur,
    Thank you for the reply.
    You were correct that deleting the app and reinstalling it was the only thing to make it work but unfortunately I lost all the documents I made, even though they were backed up to iCloud before i deleted the app. At the same time as deleting pages I had to delete keynote and numbers too, so I've lost all the documents in them too.
    The mb of data which was assigned to each programme in iCloud has reduced, so. I guess they are gone for good. Is there any other way to reaccess them?
    Not your fault but I am a bit fed up the the iPad. I have lost work that I've done and have no other copy apart from what was in iCloud, as I don't have a printer and couldn't email them too myself as I couldn't get into the programme and  i've also got episodes of tv series I purchased that I can't download and albums that are half downloaded with songs missing, so I feel a bit swindled out of time and money and am going back to DVD ,  pen and paper and CDs .
    Instead of using iCloud I guess the only way to make sure I don't loose any more documents it to email them to myself each time I save them on the iPad. Is there anything else you could suggest please?
    I don't have any other apple products apart from iPods, so I can't access the iCloud on anything else can I?
    Thanks

    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

    Yes, if you keep your site physically on .Mac you have to pay for it.
    can you send me a website where i can find lots of

    on iweb are very limited.
    The best thing for you to do is search this forum using the term for the effect you are interested in.
    If you find iWeb too limited and don't find workarounds in this Forum for adding the effects you want, you can consider using another app. Here is one list:
