IIS 6.0 multiple domains and DNS

Hi
So, I'am not sure if this thread would be better in the "DNS-Forum"

Anyway, here is my problem:

We have a server with multiple sites (domains) .com, .ch, .de on one IP.
Everything worked great until I wanted to add .es.
We registered the .es domain pointed it to our main-domain .com (like .fr which works perfectly)

I added a new website called www.mydomain.es in IIS with the host-header value "www.mydomain.es" (no IP specified). Everything else default.

Then I created a "forward lookup zone" (name is "mydomain.es" with the windows-dns-manager with the following values:


So, I thought now it would work (nope it doesnt)
I tried to restart iis and dns-server, didnt help.

Everytime I call www.mydomain.es in the browser, I see our main-page www.mydomain.com.
I'm confused because I "copied" our .fr domain which works.

Hope you can help me

I'm only guessing, I think the solution to your problem is found somewhere in the DNS world, not the IIS world.

But I could easily be wrong

Maybe, like I said im not sure and I have little knowledge about the whole iis and dns stuff :-/

I have researched a bit and found out that .es-domains are special.
You can't update your name-servers etc. (see here: http://www.united-domains.de/es-domain/?SESSID=8534d30b0ce5be62becce904e6ddd18)

So they told me to use a so called a-entry. I did that... nothing
If make a whois-request the mydomain.es has the correct a IP (the one of our server).
That means, it actually comes to our server but the server "doesnt know" what to do with it.

Any further help is very appreciated

whois doesn't show the IP of your webserver, just the IP of the nameservers for your domain. Try using a tool like nslookup to determine the actual IP for your domain name.
