dumb domain question

[rook44]

can a domain live on multiple servers administered by separate folks? i.e. if a site is hosted on one server and some content and apps are licensed from a 3rd party and sit on a 3rd party server, can both of these entities be under one domain? is there some sort of alias that needs to be applied to the 3rd party material to make it look like it's part of the same domain?

i am not a developer, so i hope i explained the problem well enough. any input would be appreciated.

Domains are an alpha translation of an IP address.

However, assuming that these servers all live inside the same enclosed network, then of course, since the gateway (or bastion) IP is the same, they will easily share data. If it's remote, then perhaps a (usually slow) VPN (Virtual Private Network) or Wvlan (Word Virtual Lan) are options.

My home server takes on the same IP as our work server once I'm connected via VPN, and my data is accessible through the domain. If the IPs are different, the domain names will be different. As far as I know anyway.

Hope that helps!
