[cobalt-users] Ethernet Interfaces on Raq4

[Brian Coughter <brianc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I figured out part of my problem  I have the Ethernet interfaces
flip-flopped.  I have Interface 1 as the internet connection and interface 2
as the internal connection.  AppleTalk runs on interface 1 only.  Now here's
the problem:

If I switch the IP addresses of the interfaces and I switch the Ethernet
wires in the ports, I loose connection to the internet and I can't access
any of my sites.  But theoretically it should work fine, right?  Does it
matter that my primary DNS is running on the IP address of interface 2 after
the correction?

Here's a better description of my network topography:

-Currently-
Ethernet 1 <-- connects to --> Router (global IPs)
Ethernet 2 <-- connects to --> LAN (Local IPs)

My Router is a Cisco 2621 running NAT.

By switching everything around the way it should be, my primary DNS would be
assigned to  Ethernet 2 on the Raq with a global IP address.  Can DNS run on
Ethernet 2?  If not, and it must run on Ethernet 1, I guess I would have to
enter in static address translations in the Router, right?

Uhg!
