virtual domain and dns
« on: February 13, 2002, 01:33:56 PM »
I configured the e-smith 5-3 box of a friend of mine as a gateway, registered it at dyndns.org and his homepage in the primary-ibay works correctly.
Now I want to setup a 2nd homepage in another ibay. Configuration on the e-smith box is easy. But when I try to register at dyndns.org, I might just register his homepage under another name. I cant find any opportunity to tell dyndns the ibay /subdirectory, the 2nd homepage is located.

I searched the expirienced forum for hints without any success. Can anybody give me further details on the above mentioned subject?

Thanx in advance

You don't have to do anything at dyndns.org but point the new hostname you've created at his IP.  On your SME box you need to go to the Virtual Domain page and add the new hostname there to point to the newly created i-bay.  I used to have 3 different dyndns names pointed at 3 seperate i-bays on my box, worked just fine...
