I have a home server running gentoo for personal use (irc, home |
2 |
entertainment, file server etc.). |
3 |
|
4 |
It is reachable from the internet using a dyamic dns service |
5 |
(dyndns.org). |
6 |
|
7 |
I also have another machine (running gentoo too) that I use as a web |
8 |
server. This machine uses dyndns.org, with a different name. |
9 |
|
10 |
Both machines connect to my modem/router via pppoe so they get 2 |
11 |
different IPs. |
12 |
|
13 |
This modem can also be configured to be used as a router so it connects |
14 |
directly to the internet and shares the same IP between the clients. |
15 |
|
16 |
What happens if I decide to switch to the "router" configuration? If I |
17 |
have a single IP for all the machines in the LAN, when someone from the |
18 |
outside will try to connect to homeserver.foo or to webserver.bar, will |
19 |
they be routed to the correct machine? |
20 |
|
21 |
Are there other setups I should look into? |
