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.
mysite.com. * 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
