Can a single hostname be mapped to multiple IP addresses?
One hostname cannot be mapped to multiple IP addresses.
Can I add multiple CNAME records?
While you are allowed to create multiple A and CNAME records for the same destination, you can set only one A and CNAME record per source or host name. Learn how to set A and CNAME records.
Can I add multiple CNAME records for one domain?
You cannot. A CNAME makes one record another name for another. If a record could have CNAMES for two names, it wouldn’t be another name for either of them, but a name for something entirely new, making a CNAME entry inappropriate.
Can a router be used for more than one network?
But given the headaches of deploying and maintaining just a single network on a router, many network admins – or just those managing networks at home – tend to shy away from configuring multiple LANs on a single router. Before we dive into how to configure multiple networks on a single router, let’s talk about why it can be beneficial.
Is it possible for different people to have the same public IP address?
As I understand it, two computers cannot have the same public (external) IP address unless they are connected via the same router. If they are connected via the same router, then they can have (share) the same public IP address yet have different private (local) IP addresses.
Why do I need a local IP address for my router?
When your router receives a connection on port 25565, it knows it should pass that traffic through to the local IP address you specified. This is why port forwarding is necessary for applications that function as servers and receive unrequested inbound traffic from outside your local network.
How is a router connected to the Internet?
Your router is connected directly to the Internet, and it’s assigned your public IP address (which may change over time). Your router is then responsible for sharing your public IP address among the other computers and connected devices in your home.
