    Hello. We are a school that is planning to use Moodle (Moodle is a Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It is a Free web application that educators can use to create effective online learning sites.)

    We have a pc working as a moodle server, it has Ubuntu and Apache. We can access the site locally but we can not access the site out of the school.

    I did create a web publishing rule on TMG to point to that server on port 80 from the external network.

    But in the moodle website the say the following about DNS:

    Windows DNS

    Assuming you already have your NAT firewall performing port forwarding to your moodle. If running Win200x Server in an AD domain, a domain controller must be running DNS. This DNS server should be configured with Forwarders to your ISP for resolving names it doesn't have in its own zones. And your Windows clients should be pointing to this DNS server.

    To accomodate using the same URL for intranet and Internet access to your moodle, you can create a new zone with the domain your moodle is in on your DNS server. Create an A record for your moodle's internal IP address inside this zone. Since your internal clients are using this DNS server, they'll get the private IP address; and Internet clients will get your public IP address.

    What do I need to do in my DNS? maybe somebody can hel me.

    Thanks.
