Subdomain -> ip

[Sentinel]

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to create a subdomain and then have it point to an IP that is not in our server. Meaning, I have a cliente who wants to create a subdomain, and have that subdomain resolve/connect to his counterstrike server IP address.

So instead of having 1.2.3.4.5:1234 having it da.subdomain.com:1234

I hope you all can help me out on this.

Thanks!

This isn't very hard to do at all. Go into DNS management and at the bottom, under the list of the current entries, go to the top box (Type A) and type in what you want for the subdomain. Example....

counterstrike

Then put the IP address he wants it to resolve to and click add. That's all there is to it!

When you're done it'll look something like this....

counterstrike A 127.0.0.1

And they'll be able to connect to counterstrike.domain.com.

Thanks.

The thing I did wrong was create the subdomain first, let it resolve to my server ip, then changed the A record to the ip on the other server, and since it was taking a long time to resolve, I didnt think that was the right way to do it. I tried again today, and it works. I removed the subdomain and just added an A record.

Thanks a lot!!
