[cobalt-users] Raq3 and Qube 2 Configuration issues

["Eric Lewis" <lewisdvm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a little problem with configuration of a raq3i I have set up on DSL.

The gentlemen at the DSL provider have mapped via the router, two of my LAN
IP  ( 192.168.1.105 and 192.168.1.106) to two static IPs ( xxx.xx.xxx.20 and
xxx.xx.xxx.21)
Now, I have a Qube 2 set up  on xxx.xx.xxx.20 functioning as a DNS server.
It has been running well, and the DNS has been working well for several
sites set up on a Raq2 colocated elsewhere.  This Qube IS accessable via its
DNS host name ns1.mydnsdomain.com and via its IP address xxx.xx.xxx.20 from
insid the LAN and via the internet, and via its LAN IP of 192.168.1.105
inside the LAN.

Two days ago, I put a freshly restored Raq3i up and assigned it the
xxx.xx.xxx.21 IP.  The raq IS NOT accessable via its WAN IP of
xxx.xx.xxx.21, either inside or outside the LAN. It IS accessable inside the
LAN via the LAN IP of 192.168.1.106. There is one virtual site set up on the
Raq3I, using the Qube as DNS for the domain, and that domain IS accessable
via the net and the LAN, and I can reach the Raq3i GUI via the domain setup
on it by entering www.raqdomain.com/admin.

I have both the Qube2 and the Raq3i set up with the DSL provider's DNS
server as the Primary IP, and the primary interface settings set up with the
LAN IP, not the WAN IP that is mapped to the WAN IP.

Can anyone shed some light on the problem of why the Qube2 will resolve with
a straight IP request, but the RAQ won't?  Traceroute for each IP seems to
go strait to the IP.  Pings to the IPs work.  FTP to the xxx.xx.xxx.21 IP
connects.

Since the Raq is serving pages for the virtual sites anyway, does it matter?

I have a feeling that it will affect the Raq as a mail server, which I
intend to use it as for the virtual sites I set up on it.

Any help at all will be appreciated.
