We currently have a web server that is running apache on cent 5.2. We are upgrading our student info system so that it allows web access and the vendor (powerschool) is stating that this has to be a registered domain or a sub domain and only runs on Windows Server. My question is can you tell apache to point a subdomain to a diiferent IP address. For example, Our domain is currently amelia.k12.va.us. If someone goes to powerschool.amelia.k12.va.us it points to another IP other than itself? I have no experience with sub-domains so any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
This is easily done with DNS or redirects. If you control your DNS, you just need an "A" record pointing to powerschool.amelia.k12.va.us with an ip address reachable by the target audience (internal or external). With redirects you could do it in apache, but you still need the servers ip address.
