I have a production site, running off 10 servers. I've been given another virtual server on the same network as these 10 servers, to use for testing purposes. This server doesn't have it's own DNS entry. Therefore I need to do a redirect to the site hosted on this virtual server for a sub-domain of the site running on the 10 other servers.
So Basically I was wondering how I would configure a sub domain of my production server to point at the Virtual server for testing.
I'm guessing I need to modify my site file in
/etc/apache2/sites-available
and add another virtual host like the following and modify the redirect match:
<VirtualHost *>
        ServerName SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.com
        RedirectMatch 301 (.*) **IP ADDRESS**
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/SUBDOMAIN.DOMAIN.com.access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Do I set the redirect match to just the IP on the Virtual server, and then configure another site file in the sites-available directory, which will recption this redirect and point the browser towards the HTML root?
Thanks, I hope I made myself clear.
