Hello, is there a trial version that can be installed?

Also, I notice the centos section of the forum is empty, is centos ok to use support wise?

Regarding the ip addresses, do I read it correctly that you cannot NAT? Also, if I have multiple DNS servers, do I still need 2 ip addresses?

Thanks.
 
You can contact directadmin sales via email to get a trial license. Centos is the most supported os.
 
Its possible but you have to forward all the ports through your router. There are guides online here you should try searching.
 
As far as I know, NAT is not supported!

You will require a static IP address which is reachable directly from the internet - i.e. A static public IP address.

Your DirectAdmin license is directly associated with your server's IP address.
 
If that is true, what are most people doing? All my servers in my cage are private addressed with NAT to the outside. Are people using vlans on their switches to support multiple networks?

CentOS is actually preferred by many of us, as it's the OS that DirectAdmin uses to build DirectAdmin (everything else is a port).

For that reason there wasn't a CentOS section until a few days ago because CentOS was so ubiquitous that the entire forum (except for the sections specifically for other OS Distributions) was often CentOS oriented. Recently a few people requested we have a specific CentOS section, so I set it up a few days ago. Hopefully people will at some point begin to use it :).

Officially DirectAdmin is only supported on routable static IP#s, and at least the main IP# of your DirectAdmin must be routable to the Internet as otherwise the license will fail to authenticate and will not work.

At least one poster to these forums has posted on how to use non-routable IP#s for other domains, but of course you're on your own if you try it.

We (NoBaloney Internet Services) are. I can't speak for others.
