If I wanted to setup multiple website under one IP, how would I do such a thing or do I need multiple IPs?
I have a Linksys router with port 80 forwarding to my server's Default Website. Should I have multiple virtual directories
underneath the Default site or another folder somewhere?
Elaborate: Do you want something like http://ipaddress/applicationname or do you want www.something.com to go to a certain directory and www.asdfkljasdfklj.com to go to another directory?
Can I have both? :D
Or would it be like when you see some sites they have sub domains?
something.mysite.com
Or would I need to write a redirect page depending on the port?
For the first type, you need to only create a virtual directory and you're set. For the second, you'd have to install a DNS server sotware on your machine to handle such requests, and direct them to the correct location.
Ok, I'm running DNS on my server. Is it easy to direct the requests?
There should be a configuration tool or panel for it. Look there.
In the DNS manager, there are Forward Lookup Zones. Is this what you mean? It looks like its for making a doamin like "mail.somename.com"?
*RUFF*
No. I don't know what your DNS manager looks like, but it's not forward lookup. Is there anything else?
Here it is.
I herd that I may need to be using Host Headers. What are those and will they do what I need and how?
Yes, those are what I am looking to do.
