Naming standard for additional A records/IP addresses for IIS servers?
- by serialhobbyist
When you're adding another IP address to and IIS server, what naming standards do you use for the A records?
Background: I've a bunch of sites on an IIS server which use (CNAME'd) host-headers and a single IP address. Server names (and A records) adhere to unfriendly (as in difficult-to-remember) naming standards whereas CNAMEs, and therefore host-headers, can be friendly. Now I've a need for several SSL certificates for different sites. I was thinking about using an additional IP address for each to-be-SSL'd site but still using friendly CNAMEs. So then I come to what to call the A record.
What do you do?
