MacDNS 1. Question: Should I set up my MacDNS server to point to itself for domain name services? Answer: Yes. You should list the server's domain name in the Name Server Address field of the TCP/IP control panel. You can also include a second DNS server, such as your ISP's. 2. Question: I want to set up an Intranet which will not have access to the Internet. Can this be done with MacDNS? Answer: Yes. Please see the MacDNS Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for details. 3. Question: How do I set up an mx-record? See the MacDNS Frequently Asked Questions article. Miscellaneous 1. Question: Can I still use ARA MultiPort Server on my AppleShare IP file server? Answer: If ARA MultiPort Server is installed on the server prior to installing AppleShare IP 5.0, Users who were configured properly can continue to call in; however, you can't change their access information, since these options are not in Users & Group data. 2. Question: Can I use ARA Personal Server on my AppleShare IP 5.0 server? Answer: Yes. However, you must first install ARA Personal Server, set up your users for dial-in access through the Users & Groups control panel, and then install AppleShare IP. Once AppleShare IP is installed you cannot make additional changes to the User's dial-in access. An unsupported Apple utility is being developed to administer the user's ARA options after AppleShare IP 5.0 is installed. 3. Question: What are the port numbers used by the various AppleShare IP services? 4. Question: What is Multi-homing? Does it mean I can route different network segments through my AppleShare IP server? Answer: Multi-homing is the ability for one computer to be connected to up to 4 different and unique AppleTalk network segments. This is done by connecting to multiple network ports through built-in and expansion cards. It does not bridge or route those network segments into a Local Area Network (LAN). The network segments will not see each other by being connected to this one computer. The AppleShare IP AppleShare file server can use this feature. 5.
