Hi there,
The company which I manage the network for has offices in 5 locations, and hosting at 1 external host. We host all our DNS internally, and have complete control over this - it is hosted on Windows.
Here is what I want to do:
Currenly all DNS for all websites points to the host.
I want to host our corporate websites all on the host, this part is easy.
We have databases with web applications in front of them in each country, I want to be able to redirect people to each country from the main website. So:
www.company.co.nz -> DEDICATED HOST
www.company.co.nz/dataentry -> NEW ZEALAND SERVERS
www.company.com.br -> DEDICATED HOST
www.company.com.br/dataentry -> BRAZIL SERVERS
So on and so forth.
So, since we own a 'maintenence' domain (company.net.nz) I tried creating A records like so:
auckland.company.net.nz > 210.152.106.1
saopaulo.company.net.nz > 200.196.120.1
So, the www records point to the host to display the corporate website on .co.nz, but when the 'data entry' link is clicked, it is sent to
http://auckland.company.net.nz/dataentry which would terminate in the New Zealand servers hosted on 210.152.106.1, and likewise for Brazil (Saopaulo is a city in Brazil, and Auckland is a city in New Zealand FYI)
I think I explained everything here...
So I set all this up, and I can use Nslookup to query these records fine, but I cannot seem to ping / contact the servers on these names.
Any advice / help / alternatives would be much apprecaited.
