IP pool and router/firewall

[LaurentR]

Hello,

My server hosting plesk is behind a firewall, which means an external adress xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and the ip of the server 192.168.0.15. Which one should be used in the domain settings ?

Thank you

This is a dumb question but are you in a datacenter or are you using a DSL line in a house? If you are using a datacenter you need two things: two different IP's
example:
wan side ip of datacenter: xxx.xxx.200.30
lan side ip of router: xxx.xxx.200.31
port number of router for router
eth 0/01 xxx.xxx.222.01 <-- gateway
eth 0/01 xxx.xxx.222.254 <-- broadcast ip

notice the change of ip range (200 & 222) 200 being your external i.p. and 222 being the internal i.p range

now if you are using a DSL router you have to look up the directions of the broadband DSL router so that you can run NAT: see def: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

Hi,

If you are running Plesk behind NAT then you should configure domains in the following way:
1. Under Domains > domain name > Setup you should set internal IP (this is the IP address which will be put into apache configuration for this domain).

2. In Domains > domain name > DNS settings you should put external IP (this IP will be put into bind zone file).

To make Plesk create DNS records for all new domains with external IP address you should redefine DNZ zone template under Server > DNS settings.

Hope this helps.
