# 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.
