Re: One web server, multiple domains; a slight twist


This looks to me like a phishing attempt or that you are fantasizing
circumstances spiced with some of your own misguided attempts for a
solution, without actually telling us what you really want to accomplish.
Please provide an actual problem, described as an actual case, not based
on a self imposed dead end, disguised as a partly working solution..!


I have heard of "phishing" frequently, but I don't know what it means
and never bother to know what it is. :-) :-(

I am helping a small company doing internet-related work; the company
is also a ISP service reseller. All its technical people have left; my
background is mainly in C/C++, internet stuff is quite new to me.

The question arises out of curiosity, from a recent attempt by a
temporary staff to transfer a domain from one web server to another
web server; he forgot to change the DNS record (the company is dealing
with 2 ISPs). Later I was asked to FTP somes files to a server, which
end up in the "old" server.

Of course I can go to the control panel of the other ISP and transfer
files using its file manager.

Out of the blue, I wonder whether it is possible to access the other
server using IP address, thereby avoiding a DNS look-up (which will
end-up in the "old" server). Off my head, I believe it is possible,
just that what is the form of this command.

The answer "yes" is sufficient; I shall experiment a bit myself.
Thanks.

Before that: Please take a look at the excellent Apache documentation[¹]!

Hint, if phishing: mod_proxy
Hint, if fantasizing: Virtual Host
