DNS setup for two separate droplets at Digital Ocean

[aitor]

Untill now I have one droplet for staging and production and I would like to change to separate droplets. But I’m a bit confused about DNS configuration. I figure out this configuration, with stage subdomains for each domain:

Production droplet content

• site-A.net
• site-B.net
• site-C.net

Staging droplet content

• stage.site-A.net
• stage.site-B.net
• stage.site-C.net

Is it right?

If yes. How should I setup DNS ?

site-A.net DNS
RECORD A: @ mapped to production-droplet-IP
RECORD A: stage mapped to staging-droplet-IP

Is it right? (so, I don’t need a CNAME record).

Thank you in advance.

Looks correct. They are pointing to different IPs so you wouldn’t use a CNAME.

All looks good to me

The only thing I would say it that it looks like you’re hosting multiple websites on each droplet which isn’t ideal but it’ll work!
