I want to host some websites
behind a VPN and I need some help with
the finer points of
the configuration. Thus far I've settled on OpenVPN + Bind9 and I want to configure
the domains like this:
External DNS
mail.example.com
www.example.com
vpn.example.com
I want to be able to connect to
the vpn using 'vpn.example.com'. Once connected I then want to be able to resolve anything which is '*.vpn.example.com' with
the DNS server sitting
behind the VPN.
I know that OpenVPN can push DNS servers to clients when they connect. I am having trouble though with
the DNS config, both internal and external. I've gone through a few tutorials etc. and tried to reason about it myself but I'm not getting anywhere.
So my main question would be does
the above configuration make sense? If so, any general pointers or examples would be greatly appreciated.
Here's what I've tried so far based on this tutorial (I've redacted my domain with example.com). When I try
the tests with dig at
the end to check
the resolution is working it fails.
db.vpn.example.com
$TTL 15m
vpn.example.com. IN SOA ns.vpn.example.com.
[email protected]. (
2009010910 ;serial
900 ;refresh
900 ;retry
900 ;expire
900 ;minimum TTL
)
vpn.example.com. IN NS ns.vpn.example.com.
ns IN A 192.168.0.2
test IN A 192.168.0.2
