Adding a name-based virtual site
If you are adding a name-based virtual site, you must have DNS records for that
site before you can access the site. For more information, see “Definition of a
virtual site” on page 113.
If you administer your DNS records on the RaQ XTR, refer to Appendix E,
“Domain Name System” for more information about creating DNS records. If
your Internet service provider (ISP) administers your DNS records, ask your ISP
to create the DNS records for the new name-based virtual site.
You can also enable the Automatic DNS configuration feature when creating a
name-based virtual site. If this feature is enabled, the server automatically creates
DNS records for this virtual site and the RaQ XTR server acts as the primary
DNS server for this site.
✍
Note: To preview a name-based virtual site, you must first configure
its DNS records and make those DNS records available to your
workstation and the RaQ XTR server.
Requests to the IP address are directed to the first name-based site
created on that IP address.
