Dear experts,
we are about to move our civicrm-server to another VirtualMachine(s).
To be able to switch the domain-routing easyly it would be nice to be able to setup two (ore more Test-server VMs) using the same domain-name.
We are using drupal7\_civicrm…
Is there a possible solution esp. considering the letsencrypt-key-files… ???
i am a newbe with yunohost 😉
best regards
Dieter

The only way to have several servers using the same domain name:
Considering you have a first server working on [drupal.mydomain.net](http://drupal.mydomain.net) with IP X.X.X.X
Install a second Yunohost server with IP Y.Y.Y.Y
Change the A DNS records for [drupal.mydomain.net](http://drupal.mydomain.net) to go to Y.Y.Y.Y (wait few minutes or hours to let change made publicly)
Add the domain [drupal.mydomain.net](http://drupal.mydomain.net) to the second server and a let’s encrypt certificate
You can change back the A DNS records for [drupal.mydomain.net](http://drupal.mydomain.net) to go to Y.Y.Y.Y (wait few minutes or hours to let change made publicly)
At that point each server think it own [drupal.mydomain.net](http://drupal.mydomain.net)
you can reach the first server(X.X.X.X) as usually
to reach the second server, you need to add an host [drupal.mydomain.net](http://drupal.mydomain.net) with the IP of the second server (Y.Y.Y.Y) in the host file of your computer, PS: doing that when going at [https://drupal.mydomain.net](https://drupal.mydomain.net) you go to Y.Y.Y.Y, all public people continue to go to X.X.X.X
It’s a bit tricky if you are a newbie.

Hi yalh76,
thank You so much for your quick and exentensive answer.
I’ll follow this path 😉
The remaining question is:
What will be the reaction of letsencrypt if there are several update requests for the same domain from different servers (IP-addresses) ?
Do You expect problems or does letsencrypt not check the source of the update-requests ?
thx in advance & best regards
Dieter

Wouldn’t it be easier to set up [test1.mydomain.net](http://test1.mydomain.net) and [test2.mydomain.net](http://test2.mydomain.net) with their own dns-records and then, when ready to switch, tell yunohost to change the url? For example from the install on [test1.mydomain.net](http://test1.mydomain.net) to use [drupal.mydomain.net](http://drupal.mydomain.net)?

Tanks mbro for Your suggestion 😉
Yes, ist would be the simpler solution.
Unfortunately we have to keep the old servers running for some month because there are a bunch of mails out containing a optOut-link refering to these domains…
=\> no simple solution 😉
best regards

For let’s encrypt, there a maximum request by domain =\> [Limites d'utilisation - Let's Encrypt - Certificats SSL/TLS gratuits](https://letsencrypt.org/fr/docs/rate-limits/)
But having a request from another IP seems OK
