| Say I have a server on a domain called jack.xyz.com. Just say if I wanted this server to become a web and ftp server. What procedures would I have to do in the DNS console?
Firstly I would have to make host (A) records for www and ftp for the xyz.com domain. So I would have:
www.xyz.com and ftp.xyz.com
Ok so I did that and I gave both the same IP.
Now what would I have to do to link these together. That is to use the same IP for both and to associate these two addresses with the same site. I know you also have to setup IIS to use host headers but you also have to configure DNS which I can’t seem to work out.
I read that you create a CNAME record associating the host name ftp with the A record www, but I can’t work out how to exactly do it. All I got was errors.
Can someone please give me the steps to use? | |

| Sounds more like what you want to do is have a host (A) record for jack.xyz.com then create an alias (CNAME) for www and another for ftp that point at jack.xyz.com.
Assuming that you are using the IP address of 192.168.1.2 for jack.xyz.com:
Jack A 192.168.1.2
www CNAME jack.xyz.com
ftp CNAME jack.xyz.com
Cheers,

| Yeah i understand now. Sometimes you can get some tricky questions on this topic.
I found the W2K server help guide to be useful in clearing up some things that aren't explained properly in the 216 TK |
