Simple static routing and SQL Server

Thanks for your answer. Following your advice I found another post regarding the use of Mikrotik DNS to resolve hostnames, answered by ZeroByte

http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/how-to-set-hostname-for-a-specific-static-ip/102749/1

Whatever that is, you can create host names in the Mikrotik’s DNS proxy:
/ip dns static add address=192.168.10.14 name=myhost.example.com

Then you need to either assign the Mikrotik as the LAN’s DNS server address, or else use a dstnat rule to intercept (redirect) outbound DNS queries to the Mikrotik itself:
/ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat protocol=tcp dst-port=53 action=redirect
/ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat protocol=udp dst-port=53 action=redirect

And make sure sure that your DNS service allows remote requests:
/ip dns set allow-remote-requests=yes

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:
Make sure that your firewall filter’s input chain will drop incoming requests to port 53 from the Internet

I’ll do as described :slight_smile:
