isp behind NAT - medisoft - 06-16-2009 03:06 AM
Hi! i want to know if there is a way to use ispcp behind a NAT.
I have a server and I want to test ispcp in a virtual machine, but that virtual machine has ip address like 10.0.0.1, and i need that ispcp knows that my external IP is a.b.c.d but my internal one is 10.0.0.1
how can I do that?
thanks.
i found that changing various templates:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/00_master.conf
/etc/ispcp/apache/00_master.conf
/etc/ispcp/apache/parts/als_entry.tpl
/etc/ispcp/apache/parts/dmn_entry.tpl
/etc/ispcp/apache/parts/sub_entry.tpl
/etc/ispcp/apache/parts/vh_entry.tpl
and changing all the IP fields to * (like *:80) does the trick for this, but this doesn't work for DNS
for that is needed to install ISPCP with the real IP instead of the NAT ip....., it seems to work for me

a) don't do this...
b) if not a) then decide which IP you want to be handled by ispCP.
The internal (wich is used for apache) or the external (which is used for bind).
Since you don't use bind behind a NAT - do you? I'd say: give ispCP the internal address and configure the DNS manually on two external bind servers...

mm, yes, I'm using DNS behind NAT....
i want to control everything of the hosting with ispCP, i don't want to manually control DNS....
I was looking and I found that maybe there is another problem not related with my vbox configuration, it seems to be max open files limit issue, but I'm not sure right now....
but as a wishlist feature, ispCP should handle "internal" or NAT address and "external" address, some type of configuration like:
Are you behind nat? (yes/no)
if yes then What is your public IP and your private IP

I don't know if many ISPs have their server behind a NAT Router...
but nevertheless, I'd change the templates in /etc/ispcp/bind/parts/db_master_e.tpl (maybe others) and write down the external IP there.
Giving ispCP only the internal IP...
