Is this the good way to add Ip+domain to my server ?

[Donovan]

HI, i'm using Debian.

In my /etc/hosts file I can see

IP domainname

If I want to add another ip+domain, should I just add the additional ip + domain like

IP domainname
IP2 domainname2

?
Thanks,

Yes, you're right...by adding another box host name/ip to your /etc/hosts file will work just fine but if you have quite a few hosts named would be better to run and resolve them...Hope this helps.

It helps thanks a lot.

I forgot to ask:
Once i've done this, do I need to restart anything to have the change take effect ?

Thanks,
