DNS Entry for User Portal?

Open Gate Sangha
Hi All,

Our organization recently got a UTM 220, and I need to create the DNS entry to have the UTM's URL resolve to the User Portal. 

DNS is served by a domain controller running Windows Server 2008 R2. Is there a guide on how to do this? For example, under "Forward Lookup Zones" do I need to create a new zone? I'm sure it's very simple, but I want to configure it correctly.

Thanks.

    Do you have more than a single public IP?

    Yes, vilic's suggestion is the quickest.  It just means that you'll have to use https://utm.example.com outside the office and https://utm.example.local frm inside the LAN.

    Cheers - Bob


    You could also try just a little bit of split DNS-setup. In stead of creating a new forward lookup zone "example.com" you could create a new forward lookup zone "utm.example.com" and add an A-record without a name but just the internal IP-address of the UTM. That way all other example.com DNS-settings will keep coming from (and only be managed from) the one and only authorative server for this domain.

    Sometimes I post some useful tips on my blog, see blog.pijnappels.eu/category/sophos/ for Sophos related posts.

    I use split-dns everytime, it's simple and it works - but I think it's like "potato potato" which one you choose :-)
