Hello -

Hope you can help me.

I have a Draytek 2830.
Within my LAN I have two Webcams and a Web / FTP server (OS X Server)

I want to make it so that I can access them from the internet - but without using special ports. i.e.:

webcam1.mydomain.com
webcam2.mydomain.com
webserver.mydomain.com

I can do this now by using non-standard ports (i.e. webcam1.mydomain.com:8001) but that is not ideal.

Is there a way of directing webcam1.mydomain.com to one internal IP and webcam2.mydomain.com to another etc.

Should I forward all traffic to my OS X Server (which is also running DNS) and let that do all the work?

Many thanks in advance.

Andrew

I believe you would need multiple static IPs from your internet provider. Do they offer this?

Thanks for your reply.

I can't see how that would help though? Or is there a way of sending traffic from one ip address to a specific computer on the LAN?

If so - I can't find it!!

Hi

You were right - thank you.

The way to do this was to register several static ips then use address mapping to send the traffic to the correct server.

Thanks for the tip!
