Server question - how do I do this using Webmin? - GoFuckYourself.com

Can anybody give me some help with Webmin please?

My tech guy isn't available at the moment and I want to do this - I have a domain/virtual server linked to an IP address and want to change the domain/virtual server to a different IP address which is already binded to the server.

I can set up a domain/virtual server using Webmin but have never changed the IP address after setting up the domain before. How do I do that?

Thanks

If the same server is running the authoritative DNS service for the domain in question, you'll need to go into the Bind/DNS management area of webmin, open the zone file for the domain in question, and update the A record for www.domain.com and domain.com to point to the new IP. You'll then need to restart the bind/dns service as well to update it.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
