You have in DNS onename.server.com = 122.00.00.00 and secondname.server.com = 122.00.00.00, and you want both sites served by one machine. Well the base of my question is: Can DNS serve one IP with a few port numbers to different names.... 122.00.00.00:8001 --> foo.server.com 122.00.00.00:8002 -->bar.server.com It would be nice for me not to run multiple IPs on one machine just use the port# to differentiate..... If I have to run more than one IP then I won't need any port#s...I'll just need to figure out how to bind more than one IP to a machine...not my idea of fun this afternoon but doable.... -----Original Message----- From: Emiliano [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 07, 2000 1:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [midgard] trying to get dns and midgard to agree on multiple namessites Ken Pooley wrote: > > I am trying to get from using onename.server.com:8000, > onename.server.com:8002 to getting DNS and apache to recognize > onename.server.com, secondname.server.com.

You have in DNS onename.server.com = 122.00.00.00 and secondname.server.com = 122.00.00.00, and you want both sites served by one machine. This is not a problem for Apache at all, nor is it for the DNS setup. The only possible hurdle is multiple IPs in one machine. The 'easy' way is to put two NICs in the machine, each NIC gets an IP, problem solved. The other way is what I know by the name of NIC aliasing, and encompasses making a single NIC pretend to be multiple. Whether this works and how depends fully on the unix flavor you use. I know Linux, the free BSDs and Solaris can do this although I only know how to actually do it for Linux. Emile -- This is The Midgard Project's mailing list.
