Multiple web sites one IP

[Richardkl]

I would like to add another web site to a Nt4 IIS server. I have

http://www.xxx.com

and want to add

http://www.yyy.net

uing the same ip and port 80. In IIS I have set the up host header names as

http://www.xxx.com

in the one web site (I believe they call it a virtual web site) and added a second web site and made its host header name

http://www.yyy.net.

I added a dns zone with the following

yyy.net ns dns.xxx.com
yyy.net soa dns.xxx.com. postmaster.xxx.com
yyy.net mx (15) mail.yyy.net
mail A 1.1.1.1(not actual ip, ip is external address )
w

http://www A

same as above

The internal address of the server is 192.168.10.10 and is behind a router firewall. The e-mail works for yyy.net both sending and recieving from other networks. On the local lan using i.e. browesr and using dns.xxx.com (nt4 dns) when I type

http://www.yyy.net

I get the correct web site, but when people from other networks people try to access

http://www.yyy.net

they get the

http://www.xxx.com

Make sure you have

http://www.xxx.com

AND xxx.com in the host headers entries for both sites.

I guess I didn't wait long enough for the network to propagate the new DNS information that I entered. I wait 2 days but on the 3rd all is working perfect. Thanks Skotman for your answer, I am not sure why I would enter the non-

http://www.xxx.com

as I don’t know how to add a record to the DNS that would allow the “xxx.com” to be routed to my external ip. Would I create an “A” record that has xxx.com with the “host name” as “xxx.com” instead of “

http://www”?

if you know please enlighten me.
