Configuring DNS on subfolders within IIS

Server Config
1

All,

I’m currently working with a network of websites using the same codebase, all running on IIS. I would like create a subfolder for each site and point those folders via DNS to an Apache/php server so I can run a series of Wordpress installations.

Is this possible, and how do you actually point the subfolders via DNS?

Thanks for any advice.

Wait…Why run a second server? IIS is more then capable of running Wordpress with all the bells and whistles. As for your question…You don’t really. You use a sub domain which points to a different IP entirely.

It’s the way the IIS server is currently setup (I’m not the developer unfortunately).

I’d like to use sub-folders for DNS forwarding. Are there any SEO issues to be aware of?

You can use WordPress MU (or WP 3+ which is the same) to run multiple sites with just one installation.

In answer to your question… create CNAME entries that direct to that particular folder.

Thanks mate, will take a look.
