[cobalt-users] IP Address and Web Servers

[July at Zerowait <july@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am very new to the web server world and the Raq2 is my first actual
web server. Basically, we need to make www.jollyco.com appear on the
internet, be able to serve mail, and get FTP. Can mail.jollyco.com,
ftp.jollyco.com, and www.jollyco.com have the same IP? What are the
ramifications of same or different IPs?  What about the IP of the
physical box itself? Should it be the same or different? I am going to
be using non-published IP's on a 192.168.1.X network behind a firewall
for the Raq2 and the web server (s).

Second, we are presently having the DNS hosted by an ISP. Can I have him
point to a DNS on the RAQ2 or is that overkill? Should he just point to
the domain? How does that work?

Sorry for the low-level questions. I just don't know what to do and I
can't get Cobalt on the phone for anything. I'm thinking about returning
the thing.
