This is no problem. You do the same thing as for a "normal" domain. You have two ways (or maybe more then that.. but two primary). 1. Make the other ISP create a A-record for your sub-domain to your server. All you have to do is to create a VirtualHost that have SomeName.ServerName.org insted of only ServerName.org.. like this... ServerName SomeName.ServerName.org and so on... or.. 2. Make the other ISP make a NS record for SomeName in the zone ServerName.org to point to your nameserver. In your nameserver you create a zone named SomeName.ServerName.org with the same configuration as a normal domain.. and from thereon you simply address this subdomain as a "normal" domain. VirtualHost will look the same in ether case. Well.. guess you could make the other ISP make a CNAME record to a name defined by you.. that way you will have the same control as you would with a NS record. The downside to have a A-record for a domain in someone else's dns is that you don't have the control.. so if you would for some reason move your server to another ip-address you would have to ask that ISP to change his record. While if you have ether a CNAME or a NS record you can move the subdomain around as you wish. Well... I hope this makes sense for you... it's quite late here so please forgive me if I'm unclear or TO clear! :) Regards, Patrik -----Original Message----- From: Walter Betancourt [mailto:walt@betan.com] Sent: den 5 maj 2001 00:16 To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: hosting multiple domains with one IP=20 I know it is an unusual situation, but how would you setup a virtual host=20 sub-domain SomeName.ServerName.org when ServerName.org is hosted at another ISP, but no problem to use the=20 sub-domain ( I actually have pointer to the other ISP for ServerName.org ) this gets confusing to me, dont know how to set up the virtual host without=20 the ServerName.org on my server, but I hope theres a dns wizard out there that can help thanks Walt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
