Mac Snow Leopard Server DNS
- by panomedia
I have a Tomcat-driven application on my Windows server that I am planning to move to a MacMiniServer. Before I do this, I want to fully test the transition for licensing purposes.
I have a Fire drive setup with Snow Leopard Server and the base app runs just fine BUT I need to be able to resolve the URL to my domain and not localhost. So, I figured I would setup panomedia.net in the DNS Server and also create an A record to my internal network IP so www.panomedia.net would dish out the same thing as localhost.
The problem is:
The Tomcat web app starts up going through panomedia.local and not through www.panomedia.net and
My main network preference panel is still looking at my Comcast DNS search providers even though I put my local IP address as the only DNS Server and Search provider.
I need to test this via an actual domain name before I commit to a 400GB data move.
Can anyone help?
