Ok, so here i go
I will be running some dell rack mount servers very soon, and i would very much so like to take care of setting up the sub domains to them myself from another server in my network, if possible.
I have heard of the functionality for websites using a built in feature to apache, which i would also like to know more about, but my my main concern is the fact of how i can create sub domains to route to different computers on the same network.
Something like in this summary:
192.168.1.101 runs main website (of the default domain of domain.net)
192.168.1.102 runs sub domains to the rest of the servers
192.168.1.103 runs server, accessible publicly through domain.net, game server. (port 25565)
192.168.1.103 runs server, accessible publicly through 104.domain.net or so running a game server (port 25566)
192.168.1.104 runs server, accessible publicly through 105.domain.net or so running another game server (port 25567)
192.168.1.105 runs server, accessible publicly through 106.domain.net or so running yet another game server (port 25568)
i would like the sub domains to re-direct to the address of the server with a port, so the user does not type in the port. however, have the same sub-domains on the website, as to have the web server have the map of
192.168.1.101 has sub domain 104.domain.net direct to a website folder of /var/www/104/
192.168.1.101 has sub domain 105.domain.net direct to a website folder of /var/www/105/
192.168.1.101 has sub domain 106.domain.net direct to a website folder of /var/www/106/
192.168.1.101 has subdomain mc.domain.net direct to a website folder of /var/www/mc/
192.168.1.101 has subdomain mchosting.domain.net direct to a website folder of /var/www/mchosting/
192.168.1.101 has subdomain kat.domain.net direct to a website folder of /var/www/kat/
A setup like this would make me happy right now, but if anyone knows of a better way to make this, please do let me know, thanks.
ubuntu 11.10
apache/2.2.20 (ubuntu)
can install other packages if needed, thanks.
