Name Server Two IP Addresses
Hi
I have VPS (Windows 2008 Web) and I just got another IP Address. I have tried to use my 2 IP addresses with my domain registrar (123-reg) so I enter domain name and another one with www. and it prompts me to put IP Addresses so I do that but get an unexpected error.
The above is not so important. The important bit is that on the page it said that each of my IP addresses must be unique (per domain). is that generally true?
My understanding was that if I can point domain to VPS using IP address it will pass the website name and IIS will handle it?
Do I really have to have IP Address for each domain (name server)?
Regards
Emil

If you are talking about two separate nameservers, then they ideally should even be on different subnets, each with independant access to the internet at large.
That goes with the assumptions that if one network fails the DNS server set still ansers name queries. (But I didn't read the questions as if they were about DNS servers).

Hi
Many thanks for answers. I consufed myself completelly.... I searched google and accidentally come across ideal solution for me which worked straight away. in 123-reg name servers I should point to their servers and use DNS setup (included in domain registration fee). so having custom DYNDNS and buying extra IP address was something I needn't do it.... oh well we learn on mistakes :)

Just an updated the "unexpected error" is now solved... I just had to add new IP address to the server and that works now.
But the important question remains unclear to me.
