[BlueOnyx:03782] (BlueOnyx:03757) Re: subdomains/dns

[Germano]

Ok, let me try and explain better.

 

 

I have two ips for the one server.  <ip1> and <ip2>

 

On <ip1>:

 

I have

domain1.tld

domain2.tld

domain3.tld

 

domain1.tld was the first I added to that ip and it currently has 4
subdomains sitting on it, asd.domain1.tld, bsd.domain1.tld, csd.domain1.tld,
dsd.domain1.tld.

they all work no problems.

 

 

If I type domain2.tld, that works no problem

If I type in mail.domain2.ltd, it automatically goes to asd.domain1.tld, it
shows mail.domain2.ltd, but displays it as if it was the correct sub domain
for that address

Which is wrong, it should just stay within the domain "domain2.ltd" and not
jump to another domain

 

 

On <ip2>

 

I have 

domainA.tld

domainB.tld

domainC.tld

 

If I type in the domains they all work correctly, if I type in
"mail.domainB.tld", it just jumps to www.domainA.tld which again is wrong.

 

The only way I can think if solving these is using the dominant sub domain
and using mod_rewrite to do edit the domain and forward it correctly which
is probably wrong way of doing things..

 

I guess would it be possible for someone to show me how they config their
dns, blank out the ips and domains, so I can see what is the correct way of
doing things

 

 

An example of how I've done it, but its probably wrong, this would be
domain1.tld with 4 sub domains

Hi Germano,

 

Without specifics, it's a bit difficult for me to tell you with 

certainty what you have going on.  However, generally speaking, you want 

to be sure that for each subdomain you have created, you have also 

created an A record (forward record) in your DNS zone, and then you 

Apply Changes to the zone.

 

It has been my experience that when that's set up correctly, the 

subdomains will "just work."  We will put hundreds of sites (and 

goodness knows how many subdomains) on a single IP without issue.

 

If you are unable to get it resolved, and are comfortable giving the 

actual domains & subdomains you're working with, then we on the list may 

be able to give you some more pointed instruction.

 

HTH,
