SpiceRex Vs Canine photos and stories, and for lighting the fire for this new Thanks to Mike and Robert for sharing their Hi All,I'm after some adviceWe have a client who wants auto-replies set up,They used to use 'out of office' which doesn't really work for them.I have had a look at the rules on the exchange server, but it seems to be hit-and-miss,What software do you guy.

I have a setup consisting of a physical server ( server) running Ubuntu, on that, a Windows 2016 Server running as a VM serves as a Domain Controller ( dc).

I then have another physical machine acting as my router running pfsense ( router). The router is acting as the DHCP server, although I have heard that it's prefered to let dc handle it. Mostly because it's handy to log into the webadmin of pfSense to fix things instead of using Remote Desktop to login to dc and also since dc is a VM and depending on a reboot of its host server might not be up when I need it to. For instance server would have issues asking for a DHCP lease from dc if it hadn't started the VM of dc first. It allows it (and me) to easily add specific hostnames for an ip, reroute stuff etc. Since I have three children in the house it also allows me to apply basic DNS filtering based 'protection' against certain 'known things' by running BlockerNG and Snort (although I still need more time to configure this). I had set the DHCP Server on router to give the ip of dc as the first DNS server and then dc uses router as a forwarding DNS for things outside my own network. The Active Directory on the domain works fine, internal hostnames work fine and external hosts are resolved correctly.īut, now I was thinking about addin NxFilter to the mix. My idea is to be able to do more fine grained DNS filtering with that for the kids based on their Domain Users.

But, I'm starting to feel that it might be a bit 'to many' DNS's involved in my setup and that I might not be doing it in the 'correct' way. To try I just installed NxFilter as a docker container on server with it's own LAN ip.
