Complete Hosting Setup

[viperiii]

I want to know how to get a fully functioning system running...
(yes I know its not exactly production and that is okay)

Let me Elaborate...

Currently I'm running with VMware and it works ... However I have to use outside dns to handle inet requests and use cnames and other ways to get the traffic to my box...

I have a corporate connection for the business (just want to start another business using that corp connection - We have at least 5 public IPs and I can request more.)

A: DNS Server setup....
Omega has a DNS Server but how do I get it setup to have two DNS's?
As you are all aware I need to have two DNS Servers and they have to share the records... How do I set this up?

B: Reverse Lookup Records I can have added via our ISP upon Request no problem as well but refers the the first problem.

My Visionary layout would be like the following:

inet - Firewall (holds multiple IPs) - Vlan for Hosting Co

Hosting Vlan
hosta.mycompany.com
hostb.mycompany.com
hostc.mycompany.com
etc..

I only want all hosts to share the dns load so I will effectively have 3 dns servers no problem c would only be a tertiary. (still doesn't follow rfc because they would all be on the same subnet.. oh well)

What else am I missing... other than basic port forwarding rules for hosting?

C: SSL - I've seen some of the SSL hacks but really wasn't sure if there would be more robust solution offered that we could use Verisign keys or something other than self signed certs? Even self signed certs would be okay but I found that fairly confusing to figure out!


My primary questions refer to the dns setup and having the servers replicate the dns zones properly...

let me know!...

Thx!
