    Hi. I have just set up a small LAN. I am using an old pentium computer
    as a firewall using IPCop (192.168.1.1) as a gateway to the web. It
    uses a dynamic IP from my ISP so all the machines have web access. I
    have 3 other machines behind the firewall. I have set up a FreeBSD 4.9
    server (192.168.1.2) that I want to use to develop and test my PHP and
    Python applications. The other machines (a Mac and Windows machine)
    obtain their IP between 192.168.200 - 192.168.250. I have a domain
    name registered that is currently pointing to a host that I am using
    for my live site.

    So question is how to use my domain name behind my firewall in my LAN
    with my server for development. I don't know how to do this. I want to
    be able to get my server on my browser something like this:
    server01.mydomain.com. ( mydomain substituted for my actual domain)

    I have read the DNS chapter in the FreeBSD book but I am just as
    confused as ever in what I need to do to achieve this. I have named my
    server the following: server01 and in my original configuration when
    I installed FreeBSD provided a fully qualified name of
    server01.mydomain.com (mydomain substituted for my actual domain).

    my hostname file currently looks like this:

    ::1 localhost
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    192.168.1.2 server01 server01.mydomain.com

    when I type hostname at command line I get server01.mydomain.com

    I have this line in my rc.conf file from the original installation:

    hostname="server01.mydomain.com"

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Regards,
    Dave
