Use DA server both internal as external

[ericovk]

I have set up an internal development server with DA on it. This server has two network connections. One is directly set up with an external ip (ip 62.x.x.x) and one is set up with an internal ip (192.168.2.5).

Viewing the DA accounts over external ip works fine. But how can I view the account from my internal 192.168.2.x network? Do i have to edit the vhosts file or the /etc/hosts of my own pc?

scsi's link appears to be a good part of the solution. But you'll still need resolution, either by hosts file, separate local DNS server, or DNS views.

If your local network is fairly static, and doesn't have too many nodes, then hosts file may be easy enough, and will likely give you the easiest and fastest way to switch back to public IP# if necessary to check connectivity (by imply commenting out a line in hosts file to do test).

Thanks guys, I solved this problem by letting moving IP's in the same zone in the firewall (between the internet connection and the connections in our office).
I have been told that problem could also be solved by setting up the internet connection with two external IP's by using a router with two WAN ports. Those doesn't come cheap, so I am glad we could solve it this way.

We are now running DA on the development server \o/
