Redirecting to a game server

[j0rd0n420]

Right now I have it set so that: mydomainname.net points to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx which lets them connect to the server by typing in the domain name instead of IP. But what if I want to run two instances of the server on different ports and have like: server1.mydomain.net point to xx.xx.xx.xx on port 25565 and server2.mydomain.net point to xx.xx.xx.xx on port 25564

Thanks for any help.

DNS entries can only point to IPs and not to IP:Port combinations, unfortunately. You'll have to distribute the port along with your DNS specification when telling clients the address to use to connect.

so like s1.mydomainname.net:25564 and s2.mydomainname.net:25565
?

If they're on the same IP, you'd just need one DNS for both -- s1.mydomainname.net, in your example. You could use two instead, though, if you wished.
