[MLB-WIRELESS] Melbwirelses DNS and Domain Names

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

Craigs ideas sounds promising, even to a doofus like me.  Come to think of
it I was thinking of something along those lines but I don't know enough
about DNS to really explain what I mean.
What do the smart people out there think?


..no tony i didn't ask you.  j/k ;)


>> What happens if someone uses a proper address, say
www.wantirna-ap1.net.au
>> which resolves to 10.10.128.1 by using the wireless.org.au box, but then
>> someone out on the net starts using that IP address for a real site.
>> Is that possible?
>
>No, this is why there is public space and private space.
>
>
>> How do we work out where the DNS server goes?  If we use a DNS on
>> wireless.org.au for resolving real domains, and wireless domains, it
means
>> people have to be connected to the internet at the time to resolve
>anything
>> on the wireless side. Am i on the right track there?

>This is why you have a DNS server on each of the WPOPs/Clusters for those
>that are not multihomed (connected to both at once). These servers update
>every day or two (take a look @ how often it changes and modify to suit).
If
>your connected to the internet, use your ISP's DNS, if your not connected
to
>the net, use the local DNS server.
>

>> So these people would have to change their DNS to one on the wireless
>> network when they aren't dialed into the internet so they can resolve
>> wireless network addresses.
>
>This is where having 2 DNS's would work.
>If you have occasional connectivity to the internet, you put in your ISP's
>DNS server first, then the local WPOP's DNS server IP.
>
>If your connected to the internet, it'll pull the Wireless domain IP from
>that DNS, if not, it will recieve a timeout on connecting to the first
>server, automatically jump to the second DNS server and then do the lookup
>for you, returning a local wireless located IP
>
>> Would it be best to get volunteers with 24/7 internet connections to run
>> DNS servers for each region that allow people to resolve wireless
network
>> domains and also internet domains?
>
>As stated above, have a multihomed DNS server on each WPOP that is on 24 *
7
>(doesn't even require a 24 * 7 internet connection, just once a day or
>whatever while updating takes place).
