Question
DNS configuration 2 domains
- Posted January 28, 2015
Hello,
I have one droplet with 2 distinct DNS entries pointing to it.
domain1.ca. 1800 IN A [ip] domain1.ca. 1800 IN NS ns1.digitalocean.com. domain1.ca. 1800 IN NS ns2.digitalocean.com. domain1.ca. 1800 IN NS ns3.digitalocean.com. www.domain1.ca. 1800 IN CNAME domain1.ca. *.domain1.ca. 1800 IN A [ip]
domain2.com. IN SOA ns1.digitalocean.com. hostmaster.domain2.com. 1412268938 10800 3600 604800 1800 domain2.com. 1800 IN A [ip] domain2.com. 1800 IN NS ns1.digitalocean.com. domain2.com. 1800 IN NS ns2.digitalocean.com. domain2.com. 1800 IN NS ns3.digitalocean.com. www.domain2.com. 1800 IN CNAME domain2.com.
my nginx has those 2 configs:
server { server_name domain2.com www.domain2.com; … }
server { server_name domain1.ca www.domain1.ca; … }
My problem is that , if i go to whatever.domain1.ca, nginx leads to my domain2 config.
I tried to play with A and CNAME with no solution, any help?

If you want to support additional subdomains or have your site act as a catch-all for subdomains in that domain you would want to update your server_name parameter to look like this:
The addition of the *.domain1.ca tells nginx to serve requests for any name that ends with domain1.ca.
It worked, thank you!
There is not a directive for wildcard subdomains, so you will be answer by first conf in line
server { server_name domain2.com www.domain2.com; … }
server { server_name domain1.ca www.domain1.ca; … }
it should be something around this lines:
server { server_name .domain2.com; … }
server { server_name .domain1.ca; … }
