You are right on, it should not have any impact on traffic: under the assumption that DNS is set correctly. As long as there are distinct A records for each .hound.com, chow.hound.com and www.hound.com you will be fine. In fact, we have this exact situation for most domains where mail points to one server and the web site points to another; whether that be on another local IP or outside the network altogether.

If I have a subdomain called: chow.hound.com which points to valid IP address, say serverA and update the IP address that www.hound.com and hound.com point to (say from serverB to serverC), would it affect traffic to chow.hound.com? >From what I know, the subdomain chow.hound.com should not be affected by changes to the hound.com or www.hound.com records..... maybe I'm missing something? _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
