Hi,

I run a web server, and it also runs dns, witch is not yet live with my real domain, but still testing localy.

I have succesfully setup up fastforums.co.uk and www.fastforums.co.uk using a master zone and 2 adress to point to 10.0.0.10 (SERVER IP) and if i set teh secondry dns to 10.0.0.10 foir eveyr computer on the network it works.

I have several websites though, and ik use virtual hosts, so everyones site is on a different port, but if i try to add an adress with an ip with a port webmin sais its an invalid ip.

How can i set up an adress (something.fastforums.co.uk) to be 10.0.0.10:81/82/83/84 and so on.

THanks for any help

Darren

Thanks,

Short answer is, you can't. Anyone connecting to your sites would need to manually specify the port in their URL, like so: http://website1.fastforums.co.uk:81

That being said, you don't need to host each site on a different port. That kind of defeats the purpose of virtual hosting. You can have a practically unlimited number of virtual servers on the same IP address and port. That would be the preferred way to set up your server, rather than trying to do what you're doing with DNS.

How do i go about doing that?

Thanks,

That depends on which web server software you are using. I'm guesssing it's Apache, right? Have a look at this. You should also read through the comments in your httpd.conf file for a more concise - but less informative - description of name-based virtual hosts.
