DNS setup
  • pguy
    Hi guys,

    I wanted to know how to do the following:

    This is a story of 2 servers, A and B. A is NS (Non Slice) and B is SLICED!

    We have DNS and the domain setup at A. However we want some subdomains to work at server B seamlessly.

    So say xxx.domain.com would work at A , but yyy.domain.com would work at B. How do I do it so that it is seamless and the end user doesn't feel it?

    What kind of DNS setup do I need to do at B?

    You don't need any DNS setup at B, just at A .. just create an "A" record at A, with yyy.domain.com pointing to the IP address of B..

    Hi,

    From what you are saying I think all you need to do is an A-Record to point to your Slice IP for the subdomain.

    Obviously it depends what DNS service you are using but it should be as simple as adding the name as, for example, 'blog' to the Slice IP.

    Then blog.domain.com will be directed to the Slice - once there, it is up to the virtual host setup of whichever web server you are using.
