ClearOS 7.1 Home Edition, Essentials | Installation as Gateway | setting hostname + reverse DNS name
I am new on ClearOS and I would like to set ClearOS up as a Gateway.
Modem[static-IP] (Bridge-Mode) -> ClearOS (Gateway-Mode w. FIREWALL, DNS, DHCP, PROXY) -> LAN
|-------------------------> DMZ (ftp-, web-, mail-servers)
I have got a static IP from my ISP and I would like to change the default reverse DNS (given from my ISP) to my own domainname -> eg. "gateway.domain.com"
When I do the installation of Clear OS 7.1 I get asked to set a hostname for ClearOS - must this hostname be the same as the name for the reverse DNS (I think YES because its the host which getting the public IP).
Am I right? I hope somebody can help me with that. Thank you! -
