Hi,
I hit an interesting problem today!
I run my virtual servers by hosting namesever on my dedicated server under the
hosting server name heavyhoster.com
So I have the following records:
$ttl Default Cache Time 38400
heavyhoster.com SOA - Start Of Domain rm-1003-06.datarealm.com. root.r …
heavyhoster.com NS - Name Server ns1.heavyhoster.com.
heavyhoster.com NS - Name Server ns2.heavyhoster.com.
heavyhoster.com A - IPv4 Address 65.23.129.163
www A - IPv4 Address 65.23.129.163
ftp A - IPv4 Address 65.23.129.163
mail A - IPv4 Address 65.23.129.163
heavyhoster.com MX - Mail Server 5 mail.heavyhoster.com.
heavyhoster.com SPF - Sender Permitted From v=spf1 a mx a:heavyhoster.com ip4:65.23.129.163 ip4:65.23.129.167 ?all
ns1 A - IPv4 Address 65.23.129.163
ns2 A - IPv4 Address 65.23.129.167
65.23.129.163 PTR - Reverse Address heavyhoster.com.
65.23.129.167 PTR - Reverse Address heavyhoster.com.
m A - IPv4 Address 65.23.129.163
One of my wordpress sites is a multiuser network site and needs to use the
wildcard in its A Record DNS so a couple of weeks ago, I set that up.
- A - IPv4 Address 65.23.129.163
Today I wanted to use a virtual sub-domain redirect using
mod_rewrite but it wouldn’t work because the DNS records for that domain did not have a wildcard.
So I added one in.
That was :
my-other-site.net
- A - IPv4 Address 65.23.129.163
You can imagine - this is a problem !
something.my-other-site.net is now getting redirected to mysite.com.
I guess this can be sorted out by using that second IP address ??
65.23.129.167
Or do I need to request another IP address from datarealm.com ?
What changes do I need to make ?
Any experience of this ?
thanks
