setting up subdomains

[sroukkhan]

hi, this is a rather newbie question and i appologize for such things. but i have beeen trying to set up subdomains for days now and it is not quite working. so i definately need some help here.

here is the situation.

i have one public ip (say 194.4.5.6) and one website. which is say

http://www.shroukkhan.is

(which is hosted on windows 2003 IIS server) . now i am trying to setup subdomains on that shroukkhan.is domain. the purpose is, i have many other computers/websites in that domains (such as trxibox and sugarCRM running on apache/linux server on diffrent physical computers) . i am trying to make those computers/sites visible to outside world (for example, you type trixbox.shroukkhan.is or sugarcrm.shroukkhan.is and reach them).

my dns server is on windows 2003 server. thec computers are accessible using addresses locally (like i can put in trxibox.shroukkhan.local inside the LAN and acceess it directly) , so that means i have set them up in the dns forward lookup zone properly .

but how do i make them visible to outside world?

any suggession?

Sounds like you don't need subdomain as the hostnames are part of the the existing domain.

You need to have the records all pointing to the one ip on dns. Theres a few ways to do what you want but basically whatever machine the port 80 connection is on needs to see what url is being accessed and redirect the requests to the approriate box.

Otherwise you will need to use different ports on the urls so that you can redirect the requests to a alternate box.

The later one is easy but i don't know if that would be suitable for what you want to do.

You should post your questions in the IIS forum. That's where you're going to find the answers you seek.

Good luck,
