I work on several PHP and JSP websites on my MacBook (running development Apache server and Tomcat) and they all are hosted on shared servers.
What I want to do is to clone my MacBook to a Mac mini server, connect it to a separate cable modem and router, assign a static IP to it and run a production server here in my office.
One of my registrars lets me edit DNS records, so I guess I can just point the DNS to that static IP and manage the rest with virtual hosts, right?
Another registrar only lets me edit nameservers. It seems like I can run a DNS server on Mac; is it a simple thing to do?
Is it feasible, then, to host multiple websites on a Mac in this manner?
I already have apache, php, mysql and tomcat running on my development machine. I wasn't sure if just editing httpd-vhosts file would do... Also, I'm mostly concerned with the DNS. – dfo – 2011-06-23T22:27:29.980
Although your answer is very encouraging, Thanks! – dfo – 2011-06-23T22:27:59.730
