Good afternoon.
I don’t know if this problem has already appeared here, or even if I’m asking in the right place. Anyway, I appreciate any help you can give.
My question is, how can I have two machines on the same IP, one for websites and the other for email and what configuration should I do. Since whenever I try, it just opens webmail on the machine where I have the domains.
You can’t have 2 servers with the same ip…
Unless you are running a NAT in front of it. But we can’t help you with that…
You can add a few more hosts that do not require an external IP address in your hosting service provider configuration. Connect them through the internal network address provided by the host company.
Could you give me an example of how this would work and configure?
You can’t forward mail / dns to other server and still creates dependencies on the first server so there is zero advantages …
Its better to use 2 different IPs but if you insist you have to do a lot of work to make it right. You can have as many servers you like you must add a lot of nameservers on this ip and then you have to set correctly your servers with the ns and local ips. If you can search it you will found out what i mean. Its not the best solution and i advice you for emails to have more than 1. What if 1 ip failed or blacklisted?
