Firstly, you want remote FTP and SSH to go through to your server? (Port 21 for FTP, port 22 for SSH.) Be sure that you've secured those services, before making them public. Secondly, you may have to play with the SELinux controls to allow them, too. I seem to recall that FTP might be protected, by default. What do you mean by resolving, though? If you want external people to be able to connect to pilotalk.com then a public DNS server has to have your IP address in it. At the moment, I don't get a response for trying to dig it. This is something outside of your own computer system. You may also need to convince your servers that they are pilotalk.com, and that can be done with a local DNS server or your /etc/hosts file, and may involve writing the hostname into those server's configuration files (Apache, etc.). In either case, you'll be putting in local IP addresses, and your machine will use them rather than public IP addresses. Generally, that's how you'd do it, unless you don't have a router between yourself and the public internet. Most LANs are using private addresses like 192.168.1.1 for themselves. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ rm -rfd /*^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Huname -ipr 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7. Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
