hallo MANDRAKE! for testing my website before i put them onto webservers at the internet i would like to put them to virtual Apache domains at a local linux box .. ok, i set up virtual IPs (thanks Jean-Michel), put the domains into /etc/hosts, put up the virtual domains in apache and apache shows the appropriate pages when i call them from the PC over the LAN which is the webdevelopement machine. fine. but why do they show up? when i do a nslookup "testdomain.de" (one of these i whish to redirect) i get the internet IP back - not the virtual IP from my linux-box... as i see it, i need to put these virtual IPs into the DNS (which is a forwarding DNS running on the same box like the apache) or into my local hosts file.. i would prefer the first solution - can someone give me a hint how to do it (maybe with webmin, although i know the strucures of the dns-files a bit i prefer to change them with webmin - they are to sensible fore mistypes..) the domains in question are .de domains - can i symly put up a local .de domain (without getting into HUGE trouble with the NIC authorities?) and will the rest of the .de domains still be accessible? so many questions... ;) PAT -- vcard/LDAP/PGP: http://dresden-online.com/~perler/identity.html PGP fingerprint: DAC6 2FDA 1ED7 AD55 BD1F 5142 3D5F 72BF
