I finally got the eDns client to work properly. However, I have a few
other questions. I want pilotalk.com to be accessible on ports 21,
22, 80, 8080. I have set "system-config-securitylevel" to allow these
ports to be open. But it seems as though my issue is a resolving
issue. Do I need to change resolv.conf for this to make the server
see that it is pilotalk? Or what do people think needs to happen
next?
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.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
