Treat the master and slave as if the firewall wasn't there. It shouldn't be any different than a router. The outside computer shouldn't care what it is called on the internal network. If that's not fact, then its my strong opinion :)
-----Original Message----- From: John Hunter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 2:36 PM To: MySQL mailing list Subject: replication through port forwarded firewall I have a mysql server behind a firewall. The firewall forwards port 3306 requests to the server, so the outside world can use it. I want to replicate this database with a slave outside the firewall. So the slave would request port 3306 on the firewall, but get the internal server instead. My concern is about the machine names. The slave thinks the master server is named eg, master.name.com, but the master server thinks it is named master.internal.domainname. So I am wondering if this will muck things up. Has anyone done this before?
