- This is a request for a sanity check, no wise cracks please. This is my/our
- first experience on or with Internet. Our network number is 159.242.0.0 and
- our Domain is registered as BUTLER.EDU. The following is our network as
- for as TCP/IP is concerned.
-
- (note, these nodes are part of a 99% homogeneous cluster)
-
- ________________ ________________ _____________
- | Vax RUTH | | Vax OVID | | CISCO |
- | 159.242.1.3 | | 159.242.1.5 | | ROUTER |
- | | | | | 159.242.1.1 |
- |________________| |________________| |_____________|
-
- At the moment there are ony two real hosts, OVID.BUTLER.EDU and RUTH.BUTLER.EDU.
- I orginally set us up to use another node as a nameserver. The condition was
- that this only be the case until September 1, so I just set domain-nameservers
- in the Multinet Config utility to their IP address so we could get to the rest
- of the net even though folks could not get back to us without using IP numbers.
-
- I had made the mistake (TGV's tech support pointed this out to me) of thinking
- that the IP-Cluster-Aliases would be a clean way to seperate functions of our
- domain. I had in mind seperating out functions by doing this kind of thing:
-
- names.butler.edu 159.242.1.3 our domain nameserver
- mail.butler.edu 159.242.1.6 'the' place to receive mail, use mx records
- to point everything to here
- butler.edu 159.242.1.2 a general way to provide access to our Cluster
-
- Aparently this is not what was intended by this feature, bummer. I still
- cannot gleen the intended function from the manual, Tech support had to
- tell me this was really intended for use with NFS only. Unfortunately I
- had already registerd NAMES.BUTLER.EDU as our domain nameserver. At first
- I thought that I would have to change this, but then I saw the CNAME record
- available in DNS (remember I'm new at this) so I just added a record to make
- OVID.BUTLER.EDU be the real host for NAMES.BULTLER.EDU. Should I really
- change this with the NIC?? I'm guessing the answer is yes.
-
-
- What I'm looking for from those of you who have a more experience with
- Multinet, DNS and Internet in general is for someone to look over the
- attached info to make sure that it is right. I will try to include everything
- would be required.
