Multisite IP Address DNS

    I am running WordPress on a VPS server, which uses (for example) the ip address 1.234.56.789. I have changed the DNS records for the domainname example.com to point to this ip address. However, I would like to extend the WordPress installation on this server to a Multisite, as I have been using Multisite on a different server. Therefore, to get to example.com I should direct my DNS to 1.234.56.789/example/, and for another website on the Multisite (called another.com) I should direct my DNS to 1.234.56.789/another/. However, this is not possible. I was wondering if anyone could help me out to make sure I’ll have the right DNS records for different sites, part of a WP Multisite on one server?

    One DNS record pointing to one multisite. You’ll create the A record 1.234.56.789 which points to your multisite installation. On your multisite, you’ll create two subdomains, one called example, and the other called another. When the DNS request shows up at your registrar, it’ll be told to go to that IP address, and when it shows up there it’ll be told to run through the blogs table to see if anything matches. If you have Domain Mapping set up, you can also have the custom domain associated that you mentioned be associated with each of the subdomains.
