Having 2 DNS entries for 1 Account

[taneujin]

Usually, in a hosted web service, 1 domain name will be bound to a web account.

Please enlighten me how is this done, ie, how do u make a domain name (

http://www.test.com)

bind to a site hosted on a server (111.111.111.111).

One more thing is, is it possible to have 2 domain names bound to an account (hosted in linux) but have different home page and folder structures? If so, how is it done?

Help and advice is very much appreciated

You can put alias name to your dns like

http://www.test.com

or ftp.test.com.And you can configure from bindconf or webmin.
Good Luck

"ie, how do u make a domain name (

If you are not providing dns for that site this is really
not anything for you to worry about.
OTOH:
If you are providing nameservice(BIND only) you need to configure your nameserver.
1) A zone description for test.com in named.conf.
2) Forward and reverse zone files in /var/named.

The DNS howto is a good place to start.

The name for this is "virtual hosting". If you are using apache the documentation that ships with the apache webserver has configuration details.
