1 Domain 2 Servers?

dubLeE · April 18th, 2007, 1:17 AM

i have site and i wanted to introduce different features to the site, one including a proxy such as PHPProxy, but Surpass doesn't allow proxies. therefore i was wondering if i can have 1 domain on 2 servers such that:

maindomain.com is on Surpass Server
subdomain.maindomain.com is on another server which has the proxy script...

and i rather keep the main site on Surpass since i know Surpass is reliable.

Just ask support to update the IP-address of the subdomain to its position. Or even ask for DNS access on your WHM if the domain in question is one of your resold domains

You should be able to do the same thing with the redirect function in Cpanel as well, but instead of pointing it to a domain name, point it to the IP address of the server you have the script on.

that would only work if the (sub)domain is the only or main entry on that server for that IP, which is rather unlikely. Unless that is the case it would need DNS doctoring.

Right, back when I used to do support for another company, we had a few people that did some things off a box at home. they then used the redirects to point their subdomain to their home IP.

As you mentioned, if it's a shared IP, the DNS zone will have to be modified.
