Argomento: setting up dynamic dns for only specific subdomains
Hello,I have a domain where there is a main site hosted at an isp where the main DNS settings are. For example, mysite.com is hosted at myhost.com and myhost.com handles DNS. However, I am setting up a test server and an api server that my need dynamic DNS. I have tried to set this up. Can you please tell me what is the IP address at Dynu where I point the subdomains? And does this look right?:At myhost.comAdded A record: subdomain api (for api.mysite.com) points to 173.208.132.91 (Is this Dynu IP address?)Added A record: subdomain servtest (for servtest.mysite.com) points to 173.208.132.91At Dynu:set up top level domain mysite.com to forward to the IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx of my api/test serverAm I doing this correctly?

Here are the settings that you should configure:At your current host: Add NS records for api.yoursite.com and servtest.yoursite.com to use the following name servers:NS1.DYNU.COMNS2.DYNU.COMNS3.DYNU.COMNS4.DYNU.COMNS5.DYNU.COMAt Dynu: Sign up for dynamic DNS service for api.yoursite.com and servtest.yoursite.com at https://www.dynu.com/ControlPanel/AddDDNS and point them to your api/test server IP.

I just created an account here also hoping to have only certain subdomains routed dynamically and found this thread immensely helpful.I have a vServer with root rights and my provider does indeed not allow creating custom NS records. They do however allow me to specify my own nameserver. Now I’ll have to figure out whether to switch from using their nameserver to using my server as its own nameserver and have it point subdomains to dynu’s nameserver or whether to just add a CNAME record to the configuration while still using their nameserver… The latter seems easier. Are there any drawbacks to the CNAME workaround as far as performance and reliability are concerned?

Thank you for your reply.I could probably specify Dynu nameservers, but my provider’s webinterface is really shaky and I don’t want to break anything by clicking buttons. The other thing is: I have so many subdomains already that I would need a paid account if I were to use Dynu as my nameserver. I’m currently on a tight budget and 10$/month is too much for something I’m just trying out and am not sure when I’ll get to really use it. (Intended use: I plan on using an old low-power notebook with a new big hard drive to host my ownCloud, eventually. But I currently don’t have the money to afford the drive and when I do, I’ll probably be too busy with work and children again.)If the CNAME version works just as well, I’ll try it out with that. At some point, I’ll have to completely rethink my choice of servers anyway, including DNS. I’ll keep in mind that CNAME isn’t the preferred way of doing it.

Wow, awesome! Thanks for clearing that up. I am so used to everything being billed monthly (and 10$/month does seem reasonable to me) that I completely missed that.Using Dynu’s nameserver for my domains would make things quite a bit easier, especially since I’m planning on having multiple servers soon, but my provider only allows for rudimentary nameserver configurations and I don’t really want to get into setting up my own master-slave nameservers.
