The next chapter has been added to the Guide. It covers setting up an SMTP server, and is the first in a four-part series on setting up e-mail on our internet.

Guide to Setting up Your Own Internet in VirtualBox

Looking ahead, there needed to be several minor additions/changes to earlier chapters. If you are just starting on the Guide at this time, or if you haven’t yet created the VMs listed below, you don’t need to worry. However, if you have done all of the steps so far, or have created any of the VMs listed below, you will need to make the following changes:

gateway.isp3.sam
- The following changes will add an additional interface, eventually connecting to the NTP server
- In the VirtualBox Networking setup, enable Adapter 3, connected to the internal network “isp3-time”
- create /etc/hostname.em2 with the following:
inet 172.16.127.1 255.255.255.0 NONE
- edit /etc/bgpd.conf – at the end of the list of announced networks, add
network 172.16.127.0/24

firewall.projreality.sam
- The following change will set the default nameserver for the firewall and allow it to access the nameserver
- edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the following:
nameserver 172.16.211.30
- edit /etc/pf.conf and add the following before the last block log quick all line:
pass out quick on $DMZ inet proto udp from $DMZ to $dns1 port domain

Also, additional steps have the added to the chapter on finishing up DNS to create the DNS resolver for projreality.sam – dns1.projreality.sam

Finally, the diagrams have been modified to add several additional servers that will be created in later chapters.
