I have two dedicated servers running Apache on RHEL5/CentOS.

The first is setup to be a name server for the domain 'www.example.com'

I need to set it up so that http://abc.example.com points to the second server. What command should I use or what file should I edit?

I think I have to set the 'A' record, but where do I do this in a redhat linux system?

  • Which DNS (name) server package did you install?

    I have no idea what's in use - bind perhaps? All i know is that when setting up the name server for the domain (elsewhere), I used the IP addresses of our first server... How can I check the DNS server package?

You say The first is setup to be a name server for the domain 'www.example.com'. I'm hoping you mean it's setup for the domain example.com, with a host (A) record called www. If not, you already have problems.

Assuming the domain is example.com, you need a CNAME (alias) record for ABC, pointing at XYZ.example.com.

Do both servers have static IP's? If so, the abc should be an A record on the name server pointing to the IP address of the second server.

I was mistaken in my assumptions. Neither of the servers had name servers. The domain name was registered at GoDaddy and we added the two IP addresses as 'A' DNS records.
