DNS summary - Reverse proxy in Lync Server 2013
Topic Last Modified: 2013-03-22
You configure two network adapters in your reverse proxy as follows:
Reverse Proxy Network Adapter Requirements
Network adapter 1 (Internal Interface) example
Internal interface with 172.25.33.40 assigned.
No default gateway is defined.
Ensure there is a route from the network containing the reverse proxy internal interface to any networks that contain Lync Server Front End pool servers (for example, from 172.25.33.0 to 192.168.10.0).
Network adapter 2 (External Interface) example
A minimum of one public IP address is assigned to this network adapter.
Gateway is defined to point to the router or integrated firewall in your outer perimeter. (10.45.16.1 in the scenario examples)
DNS Records Required for Reverse Proxy
| Location/TYPE/Port | FQDN | IP address | Maps to/comments |
|---|---|---|---|
External DNS/A |
webext.contoso.com |
Assigned listener for externally published resources |
External web services from the internal deployment. Additional records can be defined and created for all pools and single servers for any SIP domain that will use this reverse proxy, and has defined external web services. |
External DNS/A |
webdirext.contoso.com |
Assigned listener for externally published resources |
External web services for the Directors or Director pools in your deployment. You can define as many Directors as there are distinct Directors, of which may be associated with other SIP domains. Important Defining the DNS records for and publishing the Directors is not an either the Front End pool or the Director decision. You must define and publish both the Director and the Front End pool external web services if you are using Directors. Specific traffic types (for authentication and other uses) will be sent to the Director first, if it is defined in the topology. |
