People need to realize that hosting your entire DNS on ONE machine in the same datacenter removes the inherit design of redundancy that comes with DNS. DNS is a DOMAIN Name System that is DISTRIBUTED. Having your DNS server on one box and fooling your TLD into thinking its two boxes will leave all your customers/users both websiteless and resolveless and also inherently prohibits you from communicating with your customers should your server fail. Just a bad idea. <br> <br>That being said (I had to address it), I am also a fan of multiple IP addresses on one Droplet, albeit IPv6. While not a huge requirement for me (Just hosting a small game server and website) it would have been nice to break them out by IP and also have a dedicated IP to manage everything. This might be a major turn off for me…I’d rather go back to spending the additional $20-25 a month for the multiple IP addresses (not to mention the availability of hard drive space) than not have the flexibility.

I need second IP address for fully “webrtc stun server”. Is it possible?

I’m sorry to read that multiple IPs per Droplet are not supported. Currently I have a Droplet per master node as the network requires a unique IP for each. Perhaps you’d like to reconsider your IP allocation scheme - it’d help with blockchain use cases.
