Hi. First of all please excuse my ignorance.
I have a website running on win2k server. through a small router then to a cable modem to the internet.
My domain is at registered at domain-maniac.com, I am using their url forwarding to my ip address with cloaking. It works but I am finding some problems with with cookies on the client side after having users go to the domain name instead of the ip#. Also if I try and navigate to any page within the domain name like: "http://www.mydomain/otherpage.asp" it just goes to root of site. My other issue is with the forwarding page at domain maniac I have no way of changing this page to add meta tags, etc.
My question is can I run my own name server? I have win2k server and I see where I can install a dns server from the cd, but not sure if this is my best choice? I have only one outside ip(cable modem) Don't I need another outside IP to tie with the dns server? Or can I use the same one my web server uses? what about secondary name server? Domain Maniac has a place for me to create name servers based on my domain an asks for a ip of server, and also that dns must be set up on server, does win2 server work for this?
Or are there any free nameservers I can point to from domain maniac, then have the name server point to my IP without using a forwarding page?
Thanks In Advance for Any Help!
And Again, Sorry for the dumb question.
