NAT, and appliances...

[Steve Brorens]

I'm looking at using cfengine to manage and monitor a number of 'appliance' type boxes on a range of sites, but I'm concerned that I may have probelms with NAT and DNS issues,

 

Anyone used cfengine where:

 

 - the managed systems are behind NAT-type firewalls

 - DNS may be 'odd' (they're Linux systems configured onto Windows networks, and their DNS names might be someting like box.internal.acme.com or box.local or box.acme.local - conventions at different customers will differ

 

Is this likely to cause problems?

 

How best to avoid probs?
