I am not sure whether I understand your question correctly. Why do you need apache to resolve the hostname ? Do you need the DNS resolution as a part of a server side script or something similar ? > (e.g.) Parent domain name: "peter.alex.com" using both LAN& WAN > (192.168.1.2, 127.242.116.226) ---usual scenario. > > With child domain name it is supposed to be resolvable to "xavier.alex.com > using LAN IP of 192.168.1.3 whereas on WAN it should be resolvable to two > same host name of peter.alex.com and xavier.alex.com using same WAN IP of > 127.242.116.226. > > In a nutshell...as follows, > > 192.168.1.2 TO peter.alex.com > 192.168.1.3 TO xavier.alex.com > > 127.242.116.226 TO both peter.alex.com& xavier.alex.com Also, 127.242.116.226 is a loopback address (127.0.0.0/8), I am not quite sure what you are trying to achieve. $ traceroute 127.242.116.226 traceroute to 127.242.116.226 (127.242.116.226), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets 1 127.242.116.226 (127.242.116.226) 0.475 ms 0.027 ms 0.026 ms It will help if you can give more details and if you are not aware of the special addresses, you can find here on wiki, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4#Special-use_addresses -- 0 _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
