I am not sure if my plesk is configured ok with the physical firewall

Hello.

Few days ago I got a dedicated server with plesk installed + a phisical cisco firewall.

I am not sure i got my domains setup correctly.

When I ping some of my domains form my computer it says it tries to ping 10.0.0.1.



Question1: On my hosting setup for each of my domain do I select the IP 10.0.0.1 or a normal ip like 123.234.123.234 ?

Question2: When I click one of the domains in plesk and I go to "DNS" is it correct to see them like this?

10.0.0.1 / 24 PTR freeflashmenus.com.
freeflashmenus.com. NS ns.freeflashmenus.com.
freeflashmenus.com. A 10.0.0.1
freeflashmenus.com. MX (10) mail.freeflashmenus.com.
ftp.freeflashmenus.com. CNAME freeflashmenus.com.
mail.freeflashmenus.com. A 10.0.0.1
ns.freeflashmenus.com. A 10.0.0.1
webmail.freeflashmenus.com. A 10.0.0.1
www.freeflashmenus.com. CNAME freeflashmenus.com.

Question3: Should I see it as trying to ping 10.0.0.1 or should I see the normal ip formated like 201.23.23.2 ?

Question4: It is possible to just see it as trying to ping 10.0.0.1 temporary while some DNS updates world wide or it shows that something is not setup correctly?

Thank you.
- Adrian.

What it appears you have done is used NAT (network address translation) which honestly is not the easiest way to set things up.

If you want to continue to use NAT you are going to have to manually edit your domain DNS to point to the proper IP address.

Thanks, I got it to work after a while.
This is all because of the phisical firewall, it complicates things.
