    Is it possible to do a multiserver setup with servers on two different domains like below?
    1. cp.example.com
    2. dns1.example.com
    3. mx1.example.com
    4. mx2.example.net
    5. dns2.example.net
    6. web.example.net
    I ask this question because when I try this setup, everything goes well except that after installing server 4 the hostname of this server does not show up in System/IP Addresses.

    Kind regards,

    Yes. Your issue with IP addresses is not related to the domain you used. You probably do not have a server name set under System > server services.

    Morning Till,
    I have a server name set, see attached screenshot.

    Did you maybe install or add the servers more than once, and the IP addresses you see there are remnants from a prior install attempt?

    Does anyone have an idea of what is causing this peculiar behaviour?

    Are the two new servers mirror servers of other servers?

    Server 1 = CP and WEB = cms.xfold.nl (install OK)
    Server 2 = Primary DNS = dms.xfold.nl (install OK)
    Server 3 = Primary MAIL = ems.xfold.nl (install OK)
    Server 4 = Secondary MAIL = xms.xfold.net (install OK, is mirror of Server 3)

    The next two servers I did not yet install because of the problem!
    Server 5 = Secondary DNS = yms.xfold.net
    Server 6 = WEB and RCmail = zms.xfold.net

    If the server is a mirror, then its ok that the name does not shows up there.

    Hi Till,
    Thanks for your quick and clear reaction.
    I'll install the other two servers and expect that all will be OK.
    Regards,
