Need help with DNS and PUSH

Hi.
I have been trying for a while to get my push services to work. And I've gotten everything to look fine (according to me) exempt that the push does not work.
The iOS units can select push and the server seams to connect to the apple servers as it should. But I'm guessing it has to do with my DNS since I'm not a expert on these stuff. So can anyone spend some time helping me finding the error. Would be super super super nice...


System set up:
We have an mac server behind external firewall.
All apple ports (according to apple doc.) is open and static NAT forwarding
Everything works with profile manager and we can check/controll our iOS units from there. Also everything works fine with fetch, but we would like to get push to work on calendar and contacts (XMPP). Mail has got push as setting in iPhone (should prove that it works, but I'm not sure) but not calendar and contacts (uses XMPP not imap idle as mails does...).


Systems 10.7 running and working:
DNS
Mail
Web
Calander
Contacts
Profilemanager



JAbberd errors
2012-01-26 12:11:05,288 push_notify: discarding message; not connected to notification server

When starting up push:
2012-01-26 12:04:40,950 jabberd_notification/sm: [mydomain.local] configured
2012-01-26 12:04:40,950 jabberd_notification/sm: attempting connection to router at 127.0.0.1, port=5348
2012-01-26 12:04:40,961 jabberd_notification/sm: connection to router established
2012-01-26 12:04:40,961 jabberd_notification/sm: sm ready for sessions

and so on...
No error what I can se.

DNS settings:
127.0.0.1
ISP DNS 1
ISP DNS 2

Server domain is
server.mydomain.com

Reversed dns is just fixed, so that works. I get the feeling that the push connects to my local 127.0.0.1 and he can't resolve the address to the XMPP push server.

The certificate are legit and should work fine.

just tell me where to start looking and Ill do my best. I ho ever fully understand if no one has the time. But many thanks anyway.

hi, i am not sure but it looks to me that connection to 127.0.0.1 is indeed at fault here or your isp dns maybe too slow and resulting in timeout.
I have had similar issues with a few windows applications before and the router config and dns did end up being the culprits.

Have you tried playing with your DNS settings and looking for better DNS servers?

What happens when you use your iOS device on cellular data, assuming you have that, does Push work on that network?

DNS 127.0.0.1 is fine since it is running it's own dns service. I think the problem you are having is related to certificates. In the server app go to hardware "your server" the settings check there if everything is set right for your certificates. all services should use them. check use apple push service. Also make sure port 1640 is open wan - server. And maybe port 2195 & 2196 (not sure about these).
Hope i pointed you in the right direction.

To check all your dns stuff is right:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
