General DNS & Domains Dyn Email Update Clients Dyn Developer

First of all allow me to point out that I only know the very basics about using DNS.

I have a Dyn DNs pointer for my domain http://domain.com and a CName for http://www.doamin.com all of which point to my server on site. My server hosts one website (soon to be 2) and exchange email. Also behind my firewall is a separate UNIX Voip server and I also need access to my router (on secure port 8080).

My voip server uses port 80 and has an internal ip of 192.168.2.99 My web server also uses port 80 and has an internal ip of 192.168.2.10

Can I use my windows server to route voip traffic to the correct box lets say using http://voip.domain.com and web traffic to the web server using http://www.domain.com.

I guess this is more of a windows problem than a dyn dns problem but I wanted to make sure that I could do what I wanted to do first.

Cheers

Mark.

You're not the owner of domain.com, are you? Certainly not. So better use the example domains foreseen for this purpose.

And no, you can't use your internal recursive DNS server to route traffic. This is solely to allow name resolution for outbound traffic out of your network. However, you may be able to route traffic as for virtual hosting. Not sure if standard Windows server can do that, you may need additional routing software for this, deciding on the domain name being used to route to the right service.

Alternatively, get either your VoIP service or your webservice to listen on a different port than 80.


Edit:
Regarding the additional proxy/routing software, see if DeleGate can do anything for you. This is deemed to be the Swiss knife as solution for requirements like yours. :)

The simple solution is a reverse proxy - the likes of HAProxy, Squid or Varnish can all do this for you. You simply forward port 80 to it and then configure it to internally redirect traffic to suit you.

Note that none of this has anything to do with your external DNS service.

Hmm, but these are all *x packages, and the OP has a Windows environment. :(

You can get those, and similar solutions, on platforms other than linux. Squid, for example, has a Windows port.

Right, but almost Cygwin based, or you need to compile the package. Not necessarily what a Windows server admin wants to do. Nevertheless, DeleGate should get him sorted.
