http://serverfault.com – I usually ask my n00b questions on Stack Exchange, but now I'm setting up a VPS and have a question. My usual site.com points to my VPS's IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Now I have a different domain, and I'd like to point that to another location, say xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/myname. However, when I try to add that as an "A" record in the DNS settings it won't let me. FYI I'm using chicagovps.net with ubuntu 11.10 and Nginx. Thanks! (HowTos)

Combining dig +short command 1 year 15 weeks ago

This command will show the output of MX record:

dig @ns1.myname.com myname.com +short MX

and this will output A record:

My question is how to output both A and MX with +short in one output display? Thank you.

root@server1:~# dig +noall +answer @ns1.myname.com myname.com MX myname.com.

I'm migrating to a new server and would like to test before redelegating the domain over. I have some familiarity with setting up apache virtual hosts, but limited knowledge.
