quick question for you, when I enter adress like test.mysite.net
, first I connect to my ISP DNS, than if not found there to .NET DNS, than to mysite DNS, what after that?
I mean, I know that test.mysite.net
could be at different IP adress, but what if I want to run virtual server there? I get the same IP as mysite.net has, and how does server know wheather I want to reach for test.mysite
or mysite
directly, if they have same IP adress ?

This isn't a tricky question.
It's basic DNS operations to evaluate in the order of
.net -> mysite.net -> test.mysite.net
, passing the request from one domain DNS server to another.See How Lookups Are Handled for a graphical explanation.
