Route *.domain.com to local network?

Hello,

I've been lurking for quite a while jsut reading and whatnot, and I finally have an issue.

Scenario: we are an ultrasmall company with an ultrasmall network. We have AT&T DSL at the office with a WRT54GL router running DD-WRT, and a Windows 2003 Server box for AD. I forward LAN DNS requests to the AD box for resolution. Our simple network is a 192.168.1.1 class C network.

We have an extra domain name laying around, and we want to forward that to a particular server on our private network. For example: I want forward all requests to dev1.testdomain.com and dev2.testdomain.com from the internet to particular servers on our private network.

I created a name server entry, ns.testdomain.com, pointing to the static IP address of our DSL and I already set the name server of testdomain.com to ns.testdomain.com. Where do I go from here? How do I get the Windows AD box to understand and route the traffic accordingly?

Is this even possible? Thanks, all.
 
What kind of services are you trying to provide on the additional servers? Web, FTP, or ?? Can you use non-standard ports for these services?

If the additional servers aren't for public consumption, you might find a VPN easier to set up. It could be done with the hardware and software that you already possess.

Publishing mutliple servers using a single IP address can also be done with a proxy server, like Microsoft's ISA 2004/2006. It reads the host header of the inbound request and routes the request to the appropriate server on your internal network.
