[cobalt-developers] Virtual sites sharing IP address

["Per Arne Ensby" <prarne@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, guru's out there:

We have a problem situation with a virtual site on our RAQ3 server which I best can describe as follows:

1 - The virtual site is defined, and the customer has already started to work with some web pagres there
2 - Changes in the nameservers has not yet been done, and points to wrong addresses 

So far, it's all logical. But when adding new virtual sites, strange things happens:

3 - A new site is defined, defined with A-record on our nameservers pointing to the same, shared IP address as the one mention above. This site works nice.
4 - two other domains shall be routed to the site described above (3). On the name servers, these domains has CNAME records  that points to the domain (3). When accessed from the browser, connection to domain from (1) is attempted, and fails (since the site is not correctly defined in any nameservers).

So, whats going wrong here? Must Virtual Sites be defined in a nameserver before a site can be created when sharing IPaddress?
