DNS problem? NAT problem? Not possible?

[NDGeist]

Ok, heres what i've got. all my PC's are behind 1 IP address. I have DNS running, and apparently its running ok. so thats good.
If you ping something i've got a link to in my DNS tables, it responds with the internal IP address and tries to ping the internal address. how do i configure it so that it will automatically mask the info as the external IP address.

The external IP is actually the IP of the stupid DSL router, and all my IP's are internal
for instance
63.95.20.* <DSL router
192.168.254.200 <outward facing win2k server router
192.168.0.1 <inward facing win2k server router
192.168.0.29 < one of my Pc's (lets call it NDGeist) so when you ping NDGeist.2itguys.com it resolves to 192.168.0.29

how do i spoof this? do i need to purchase external IP addresii?

Thanks
Chip

The router should be doing NAT and masking that for you.

 

[NDGeist]

the DSL router or My 2k Router?
if so, how do i configure that?
thanks.

The DSL router since it has the real IP on it, the Win2K router should just be forwarding packets as normal.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but it sounds like you need to put static entries in your DNS tables (I'm assuming you're using MS DNS or something?). If your MS DNS picks up the addresses and names automatically, you'll just have to manually change/over-ride them to what you want.

Are you using Active Directory inside your network? If so, it is heavily DNS-dependent and you can't really "fake" it out and expect things to keep running right.

So, you have an external domain name that points to your servers inside and it's having problems since it keeps returning your interior IP's to people on the Internet, if I understand this right? If so, you would need to either have a second DNS server that returns the RIGHT IP's or you could have your ISP host the DNS for you.
