Quick DNS question for you all.
DNS server-> W23K
Domain->W23K
How do you add the URL http://www.test2.math.smith.edu to the domain
"Physics.Smith.edu" in DNS? Use CNAME?
If the URL was www.test2.physics.smith.edu than a simple host(A) would
be fine.
You could create a CNAME record to point www.test2.math.smith.edu to
physcis.smith.edu, but you'd need to make sure that the web server
running on physics.smith.edu was prepared to take requests pointed at
www.test2....
When your browser connects to a web server, it sends a host argument,
indicating which host it's attempting to connect to. This is done
because sometimes several websites exist on one IP address.
So connecting to 192.168.1.10 and asking to GET /index.html with a
host argument of host:www.example.com might present the browser with a
different page to connecting to the same IP with host:www.example.org
