title: Difference between CNAME and SUBDOMAIN
body: <p>What is the difference between a CNAME and a Subdomain?</p>
  
  <p>I understand that the a cname (the left side of a domain) can point to the domain, so you can two different urls point to the same address, ie.</p>
  
  <p><strong>ex1.mydomain.com</strong> - if setup as a CNAME can return the IP of <strong>mydomain.com</strong></p>
  
  <p>If ex1.mydomain.com is setup as a subdomain, does it have a different IP?</p>
  
  <p>Another question is what should the ideal setup be in this situation:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>I have IP1:80 for a web app</p>
    
    <p>I have IP2:80 for another app</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Can I point both of these IPs to the same A record, with perhaps a different cname or subdomain?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help?</p>
