DNS issue on the Windows Server-based host computer

I encountered a problem which is probably easily solved - but I've been browsing the net for days already and cannot find a solution.

First, I will describe my basic setting.

I run a Windows Server 2003 host in a simple configuration of the House, connected to an ISP. I have my own domain name, which is hosted by another company. My local domain name is called "mydomain.local"; My overall domain name is called 'mydomain.eu '. I send a large number of specific services on my local server, using the settings for my domain name host. So my Windows Server is called orakel.mydomain.local; My Web page, which is hosted on the outside is www.mydomain.eu, but I use my local server for ftp access, so ftp.mydomain.eu is sent to my local IP address; my router forwards to orakel.mydomain.local and my ftp server on Windows Server handles the traffic. This Setup works very well and allows me to administer my internal and external DNS settings.

My main server uses 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 and is also DHCP/DNS server for the rest of the network.

As I plan to switch to Linux, I installed Vmware Workstation 7.1 on my server (orakel.mydomain.local). I created an image, add a static IP (192.168.0.50) in this image. The VM network adapter has filled and directed to my physical network adapter. I added an external debian record, achieved to my IP static, just like I did with my ftp, usenet etc - thus, debian.mydomein.eu is directed to my fixed address, that is passed (by my router) to the orakel.mydomain.local (192.168.0.1)

And then I ran into problems. I want to access my image debian from the outside world and cannot get this to work.

When I'm on-site talk, I use 192.168.0.50 to access my image. I added a DNS a record on my * local * (debian-> 192.168.0.50) DNS server, while debian.mydomain.local also works very well as long as I'm using my own local network.

But I want to use debian.mydomain.eu, because it will allow me to access the image debian to other places as well. I can't find a way to achieve this. When I use debian.mydomain.eu, I get redirected to my router which redirects me to orakel.mydomain.local, but it ends there. I run Apache on both my windows server and in the image virtual debian, but I ended up always on my windows http server, not on my server debian.

When I change my router settings to forward port 80 to 192.168.0.50, it works, of course - the virtual machine image works fine. But how do I get my windows to redirect some of the names of servers to virtual images? I would like to execute WEBDAV in a VM-image debian and keep my existing Windows-local http server running as well. Thus, redirect ports on the router clearly won't work, such as HTTP and Webdav to use port 80. I have been looking and trying to not solve or no this result. I * know * that virtual machines are used only to share physical resources for a number of Web sites, and that's just what I'm trying to accomplish!

Where do I need to make adjustments? What is a VM settings somewhere, or should it be solved by the guest operating system DNS settings?

Hello Paul,

DNS only don't name resolution. So, given a name, which is the corresponding IP address known. What I understand, you want to have multiple servers in order to be accessible from the Internet for the same service (ie. http) using the standard ports and this is where your problem lies. Unless each of these servers are addressable landscape in terms of sound system you will not be able to do it without using a part of the trick of my previous post.

Your ISP gives you more than one external IP address? If so, do you have a firewall that can handle more than 1 address NAT?

Kind regards.

  • Performance issues with Windows Server 2008 host

    Hi all

    If I use a Windows Server 2008 host on my ESXi 4 installation.  I've recently upgraded to version 4 and had previously experienced similar problems and 3.5.  I also improved the hardware in the virtual computer to version 7 on all my guest OS.  The host in question is a file server.  Essentially what happens is sometimes that if a user opens a document (for most of the audio and/or video documents), the media file will take a minute or two to load then jump during playback.  If it's something like a file PDF/Word/Excel, the respective program crashes when the file loads or changes are saved, taking about a minute to respond to the user to enter again.  This problem is also very sparadic.  I even had this problem occurs when I'm the only user accessing the file server.  The specification of my VMware host is 3.2 GHz Xeon dual processor and 7 GB of RAM.  Two data warehouses are hosted on internal SATA hard drives.  ESXi is on the build 219382.  VMware tools is installed and update on all guest OS so far.  With regard to the use of the resources on the computer host, the memory usage with all my virtual machines running is almost always around 5.2 GB on the 7 available and the CPU usage is usually around 2 GHz.

    Looking at the logs performance monitor, I noticed an increase in the use of the disc during the shutdowns.  Are there utilities built to test the internal hard drives to find errors?  If this isn't the case, anyone recommend a utility that I can use to do this?

    Other ideas are also welcome.

    As mentioned disk SATA performance is less than ideal, or even acceptable by many people. The SATA drives in a configuration having non-RAID which makes it doubly Yes. If they were at least in a RAID 0, 0 + 1 or 5 configuration you would have best performance among readers (would be loath to 0 though, since there is no parity involved).

    Using the means on board mode SATA drive controller (or not RAID) of the SATA it runs the performance as low as possible.

    I wouldn't have even thought to have a server, or a system, used as a server that does not use RAID functions at least for redundancy. Couple that with discs that aren't going to cause bottlenecks as a standard too. Who used to refer to SCSI drives high speed, but also means using SAS drives these days (since they are replacing older parallel SCSI drives). The most difficult configurations for ESX, are performed on the server class hardware, which has access to a shared storage (which is high performance) on a fast network (Go to our days, or fiber) or a RAID array internally, which will not cause performance problems.

    You can try setting the server configuration, you have now, but that will only take you so far. You will need to the major weak links in the system. A (a major) is the SATA storage as stand-alone drives. The other is a network of 100 MB, which isn't too bad, but is still a performance hit when you share all traffic with these two ports. Moving to a GB switch could help the part of the question, but you will still have to solve problems of disk performance. If there is a decent amount of shared storage attached network where you are, see if they can give you a reasonable amount for the servers you are running on the host computer. Of course, you'll want to also be on the fastest possible network/connection of this storage.

  • Is there a practice of the Windows Server operating system environment?

    I'm looking to get some practice with the Windows Server operating system (2008 or other).  I came across the downloadable 180 trial period, but I don't mean to create a true server temporarily.  I'm looking to be able to have a completely 'virtual world' where I can actually add devices and simulate connect with different computers, etc.  I want to create an environment of virtual server completely, not the 180-day trial period where I create an environment that can have real computers to connect to it.  Such a thing exists?

    For example, I used a program called Packet Tracer that allows me to simulate the addition of routers, switches and high-end devices to create a whole network of Physics in a virtual environment.  I can configure devices with IP address and all that I can learn how to build a physical network.  I would like to do with the operating system Windows Server if possible.

    Thank you.
