MU Domain plugin with Amazon ELB
-
First off — great plugin. We run about 300 sites out of an MU install and your plugin is essential to making it fly with all those domains.
Currently, our Blog 1 is mapped to the zone apex of a domain, like company.com, and all the other sites are mapped to their separate domains. DNS for that zone apex, and your plugin, both map to a fixed IP address. However, as the server lives in EC2 and traffic has been growing, I would like to map the entire Blog 1 to an Elastic Load Balancer, which is neither a CNAME nor a fixed IP.
An address like my-elb-1234556778.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com can be mapped as an alias in Route53 to a zone apex like “company.com” but the IP will periodically change as the ELB might get moved around, scaled up/down, etc.
Do you have any recommendations for how to make this work with your plugin? If I were to map my domain apex to the ELB, then could I just use that as my CNAME? I might pop out a test environment just to test this, but I am wondering what to check for if it’s working, beyond successful mapping?
Thanks,
