Setting up a subdomain with a different IP address - SOLVED Please excuse what maybe to some a relatively simple request. I run ISPconfg 3 on a Debian server. I maintain a number of separate clients websites and email all on the same IP addresses. One client has asked me to set up a subdomain of supplies.hisdomain.co.uk and point it to a different IP address ( not my own ) using the A record> What is the best method to accomplish this and what commands ( such as dig ) could I use to check it is done. I am asking fo advice as I am not confident playing around with DNS zone files and dont want to mess up the existing set up. All help gratefully received.
Login to ispconfig, go to the dns manager, edit the zone were the subdomain shall be added, go to the records tab and click on the "A" button. Then enter: Hostname: supplies IP address: (enter the IP address here). You can test this with dig after you waited a few minutes: dig @localhost supplies.hisdomain.co.uk
Till thank you for your prompt response. That has worked for me. ( I was almost there ) Should I add solved to the thread title? Ted
