    * DNS server behind router

    Hi all. I am setting up my linux dns server behind the ADSL modem router. I had a static ip address. 123.123.123.223 and the dns server is behind the router with ip 192.168.0.223.
    the setting up looks like this
    dns server(linux, 192.168.0.223) --- ADSL modem router (123.123.123.233, LAN 192.168.0.1) --- internet
    I have forward all the traffic from 123.123.123.233 to 192.168.0.223. However I only can see dns runing locally not from outside.
    Anyone knows any solutions?

    Is this the right forum for this question?

    Probably not the right forum. But the issue here is that the ADSL router is probably not allowing UDP packets on port 42 to pass both ways.

    sorry about this confussion. I was trying to hosing my own webpage using the static ip by using the domain name that i had purchased, since my webserver is behind router so it can not be viewed by outside. I contacted the domain name company and they said that they need domain name server name. I think may be I have to set up my own domain name server before get my webpage up.

    I hope that was just a typo and you meant 53!

    53 is port for dns. I have forward all incoming traffic from the modem from port 1...65345 to the lan server 192.168.0.233. when i try the url as 123.123.123.233 it can be viewed but not for the domain name. How do i check whether the traffic is ok on port 53 in linux. at least i know port 80 is ok.

    What's the domain name - if you give me that I can actually have a proper look at what is going on and try and find out where the problem is for you.
