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
You do not have to do this in Apache. The thing you need is a change in the DNS. The DNS is a system that convert names (Like powerschool.amelia.k12.va.us) in ip addresses.
To change the DNS you need to contact the person / company that controls the DNS of your domain.
The windows server needs to listen to the domain powerschool.amelia.k12.va.us though.
