I'm already hosting my own web server, FTP, etc. and I want to be able to link my domain name myself directly instead of configuring all subdomains and redirections on the registrar's DNS. Is it possible to do this with bind9? I've looked and tried many things, but nothing seems to work.
My situation right now:
My registrar's DNS has all my subdomains:
- www.example.com
- ftp.example.com
- etc.
They all redirect to my public IP, and my router is configured to let the necessary ports go through. The problem is that I can't "loopback" to my own subdomains as they are pointing in the same direction. The Internet can connect to them though.
The situation I want:
My own DNS has all my subdomains:
- www.example.com
- ftp.example.com
- etc.
My registrar only has a pointer to my DNS. The Internet "knows" about my DNS and can resolve my subdomains. My local network is already in the same network as my DNS and resolves locally to the subdomains, and can access the Internet.
My question is: Is this possible to do? If so, how?
