Website Forwarding Using Dns
Firstly you need to ensure your domain is pointed to the 123 reg nameservers.
Website forwarding using dns. Using dns forwarding can be of help to individuals and companies with large namespaces. Everything is configured by dns. Under additional settings select manage dns. I would like to ask one thing.
Select your domain name from the list to access the domain settings page. This article will explain how you can set up your dns for web forwarding. If the domain is not pointed to the 123 reg nameservers you will be unable to manage them from the 123 reg control panel. Permalink to comment december 27 2014.
Via the forward dns resolution request functionality the queries for a specific non resolvable address can be directed to alternative name servers. Can the whole website be redirected as well using the same procedure as a single web page. Very comprehensive and thorough post. What happens here is a sort of handshake.
If the browser made the request over http and the web server is not encrypted by https then the web server will answer with an http response and the website content. If you are hosting a dns zone outside of your network to support the external name then you really shouldn t have to do any thing extra from inside of your network to resolve hostnames from that zone.

Dns forwarding exclusively refers to the process where specific dns requests are forwarded to a designated dns server for resolution. It is not the solution for redirecting one domain to another for which you would use an http redirect. If you select a subdomain enter the subdomain maximum of 25 characters in the subdomain field. Under forwarding select add next to domain or subdomain.
Your internal dns servers will either use the root hints file or forwarders to resolve records in the external domain. Unfortunately it isn t so simple correct me if am wrong but i haven t seen any solution for the whole website.
