I would like to know if it is possible to have multiple (different) domains
sharing a single IP address on a Windows 2000 server?

Thank you.

First, off, only one DOMAIN is supported on each DC,
and each regulary machine can only be a member of a single
domain if you mean AD domains.

There is really no sense in which AD domains even have an
IP address; each DC or member machine has the address(es.)

In fact, as commonly use, DNS domains don't have one either;
if we mean "zone or company names" when we say "DNS
domain."

What are you REALLY trying to accomplish? Maybe we can
help with that....

Are you asking about websites?
Yes, use host headers.

The answer is yes. But you'll want to tell us what you're doing so we
can give suggestions on how to accomplish your goals.

Jeff

All of this technical jargon is confusing, but I thank you and everyone who
has responded.

Currently, I am leasing a web server and have 12 IP addresses. Each IP
handles a different registered domain name.

For example, one of my registered domain names is:
www.AmorPostales.com

a second one is:
www.RomanticLoveSecrets.com

Like I said, each domain name is consuming it's own unique IP and I wish to
share a single IP so that multiple registered domain names can be assigned
to them.

On a different forum, someone suggested using host headers from the New Site
Wizzard. I always thought that host headers were like this:
www.products.AmorPostales.com or www.whatever.AmorPostales.com.

Are host headers my solution to assigning multiple registered domains to one
IP?

Thanks!

Kevin,

Thanks for the response. I do mean websites. I've been calling them
domains because I register each name at directNic and I think that they
refer to them as domains.

Hopefully like you say, my solution to sharing IPs will be the use of host
headers.

I am glad to hear that the anwer is Yes. My provider had become hesistant
in giving me more IPs since I already have been assigned a number of them.

I will be looking into host headers as my solution on Windows 2000 Server.

Kindest regards,

mandy

You may certainly do that -- and I probably should have guessed
this was you intent. Sorry, usually I am much better guesser than
that.

You use "Host Headers" to allow on physical server with one IP
to handle requests for DIFFERENT machine or domain names,
e.g., www.AmorPostales.com and www.RomanticLove.com
(much better than our usual sample.com names too.)

You could also use different "ports" but even though that is a
technically viable choice it has it's own problems.

You create each A(host) record in DNS pointing to the same
IP and that is all there is to do in DNS.

The issue is really a WEB SERVER issue since when the requests
get to the web server you must "distinguish" requests intended for
one of the sites on that IP.

In IIS, the MS web server, and other web servers (Apache etc.)
this is quite easy and usually effective.

Just create the "sites" (aka "virtual servers") and assign each one
a different CONTENT directory path along with a different
HOST HEADER (that DNS name above.)

Kevin's answer was correct. It is mostly done on the
WEB server.

The DNS server only sets the multiple A records (host records.)

If you already have multiple IPs on the one machine, you
can use some of them for ONE web site, and others for
multiple web sites.

Are you using IIS (MS web server)?

BTW, only Windows Server (not pro/XP) supports multiple
sites on one machine.
