Hi Guys,
I have been messing around with Lion Server over the past week or so and I have been reading a few articles and posts around setting my server up to manage my DNS. Just wanted to know a few things before doing it though.
Why is letting my Server manage my DNS better than my router?
Is there a walkthrough available on how to set it up?
My current Network setup for my server is like this:
IPv4 is Configured manually
IP address is 192.168.1.11
Subnet is 255.255.255.0
Router is 192.168.1.1
DNS Server is 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.1
All my machines are setup the same with the IP being the only difference on each machine. I currently have OD running swell, but I am only testing it at the minute. I will also be registering a Domain name soon as I want to be able to access my server remotely via VPN and possibly host start using iCal Server as well.
Any advice will be much appreciated.
