A. A. It is possible using Windows NT to bind multiple IP addresses to one network card and for each IP address it is possible to run a virtual domain server. The procedure below will add an IP address, add the new IP address as a domain and setup the new IIS virtual server.
To bind an additional IP address to your network card perform the following:
- Start the Network Control Panel Applet (Start - Settings - Control Panel - Network)
- Select the Protocols tab
- Select TCP/IP and click Properties
- On the "IP Address" tab click the Advanced button
- In the IP Address section click Add
- Enter the additional IP address and subnet mask you want the machine to respond to and click Add
- Click OK until you leave the network control panel applet
- Reboot the machine
You now need to configure the DNS server to respond to the new name.com with the new IP address
- Start the DNS Manager
- (Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - DNS Manager)
- From the DNS menu, select New Server and enter the IP address of the DNS Server, e.g. 200.200.200.3, and click OK
- The server will now be displayed with a CACHE sub part
- Next we want to add the domain, e.g. savilltech.com, from the DNS menu, select New Zone
- Select Primary and click Next
- Enter the name, e.g. savilltech.com, and then press tab, and it will fill in the Zone File Name and click Next
- Click Finish
- Next a zone for reverse lookups has to be created, so select New Zone from the DNS menu
- Select Primary and click Next, enter the name of the first 3 parts of the domain IP + in-addr.arpa, e.g. if the domain was 158.234.26, the entry would be 26.234.158.in-addr.arpa, in my example it would be 200.200.200.in-addr.arpa, click tab for the file name to be filled and click Next, then click Finish
- From the DNS menu select new Host, enter the machine name and IP address, also select the create associated PTR record. Click Add and then Done.
- Next create the www.<domain>.com record. From the DNS menu select new record
- Select record type of CNAME, enter a alias name of www, and the actual host name, e.g. server.shadow.com. Click OK
- Exit the DNS server
Next update the IIS server to support the new domain
- Start the Internet Service Manager (Start - Programs - Microsoft Internet Server)
- Double click on the Computer name of the web server which will display the properties
- Click the Directories tab
- Click the Add button
- Enter the directory name and select the Home directory check box. Next check the "Virtual Server" box and enter the IP address you added in the first step. Click OK
- Click OK to close
You will now be able to browse to this domain. Under Windows 2000 (IIS 5.0)
- Start the Internet Service Manager (Start - Programs - Administrative Tools - Internet Services Manager)
- Right click on the computer and select New - Web site
- Click Next to the intro wizard
- Enter a description and click Next
- Select the IP address you added and click Next
- Enter the path for the root directory and click Next
- Select Permissions. Click Next
- Click Finish to complete the creation.
