hi I own a domain name, let's call it domain.com I want to map two subdomains of it to two DigitalOcean droplets (let's say with IP's 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2), as in: sub1.domain.com -> 1.1.1.1 sub2.domain.com -> 2.2.2.2 I've tried creating two 'A' records: sub1 1.1.1.1 sub2 2.2.2.2 but it has not worked. pinging sub1.domain.com and sub2.domain.com hits the same IP 1.1.1.1 any help appreciated cheers Francisco

actually, I take the question back, that worked :)

it may have been a problem with not flushing correctly my dns cache

@chuddy17: Simply point an A record on whatever DNS platform you are using to your droplet's IP address.
