Respondido Sharing the same domain name across multiple SharePoint farms

    Hi,

    Is it possible to share the same domain name across multiple SharePoint farms?  What I'm trying to accomplish is this:

    - I have a SP2007 farm with a web app named http://foo and I want any requests to http://foo//<sitecollectionname<//a>> to go to a site collection on the SP2007 farm     

    - I also have a SP2010 farm and I want any requests to http://foo/<managedpathname>/<sitecollectionname<//a><//a>> to go to a site collection on the SP2010 farm  

    Essentially I'd like to be able to have the same DNS pointing to different IPs - is this possible and if so, how would I configure it?

    It's possible, but I wouldn't suggest it because it won't work as you have described unless the DNS is pointing to a third system that manages these requests (a product like Forefront UAG could do this, though again I wouldn't suggest it).

    Why do the two farms require the same URL?

    I wouldn't recommend this, but you can do it. On the SharePoint 2010 side create a zone with "stsadm -o addzoneurl" and specificy a "-redirectionurl" parameter. Point it at the URL on the SharePoint 2007 server. It'll be something like http://foo-old. Point foo at SharePoint 2010. When a request comes in to SharePoint 2010 if the site collection doesn't exist it will issue an HTTP 302 redirect to the redirectionurl.

    Thanks Todd.  From the stsadm reference on Technet (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261980(v=office.12).aspx), it doesn't look like -redirectionurl is a valid parameter?

    Jason, to answer your question on why we want to do this, we want to make the transition to the SP2010 as seamless as possible for our end users, so our users won't have to remember to go to a different top level domain to get to the SP2010 farm, i.e. they can go to http://portal/projectX to get to the old project site collection on the SP2007 farm, and http://portal/products/projectY (where products is a managed path) to get to the new project site collection on the SP2010 farm.  We're not in a position to upgrade the old project site collection on the SP2007 farm to SP2010 because it has grown to ~1TB.

    Take a look at: Using AAM URL redirection as part of the upgrade process (SharePoint Server 2010)

    The command Todd references is part of the addzoneurl operation.
