"Completely"
Great examples on IRC:
Quote:
[22:15:10] <@jed> all of the services on your linode listen on different ports...you can add multiple subdomains that point at the same IP address
[22:15:38] <@jed> so if my linode is 1.2.3.4, I can make git.example.com IN A 1.2.3.4, and mysql.example.com IN A 1.2.3.4, then point my clients at git.example.com and mysql.example.com
[22:15:47] <@jed> since they listen on different ports, they can coexist side by side
[22:15:58] <@jed> you are then free in the future to move mysql and update mysql.example.com to the new address
Quote:
[22:16:44] <@jed> the only downside is that if you connect to git.example.com using mysql, it'll work
[22:16:54] <@jed> since the subdomain is just an alias
[22:17:00] <@jed> (if you consider that a downside)
And thx for the super fast reply on both forum and IRC
