dns question

[kevin1965]

Hi all,

Web server with hosting company running Centos 5.5 and Apache

My server has one public IP and one domain name

I just purchased 2 more domain names

I want all domains to point to that one IP

I can set this up on the server no problem

Can my hosting company point the 3 domains to that 1 IP on their nameservers

All domains are purchased form the hosting company and the IP came with the server

Thanks in advance

Yes, you can.
HTTPS might be a Problem, though.

[kevin1965]

is this done by asking them to set rDNS on their nameservers

[Irithori]

Most Domain Providers offer an adminwebinterface for their customers to do that
If not, ask them to set DNS.

I have about 30 domains running on one IP on my server.

In the following examples, replace the "w3" with the standard 3 "w". For some reason the forum won't let me post the 3 "w".

I normally use CNAME records for this. For example:
In the unixpeople.com zone:
w3.unixpeople.com. 600 IN CNAME woody.unixpeople.com.

and in the objectmatrix.com zone:
w3.objectmatrix.com. 86400 IN CNAME woody.unixpeople.com.

Then, you just use virtualHost directive in apache to load different pages depending on the domain name that was specified:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /home/krish/public_html
ServerName w3.objectmatrix.com
</VirtualHost>

That should do it. This has nothing to do with rDNS.
