Hi, recently have a very strange issue on one of my application which is hosted on live and so many users were using it.

it has two link.

link1 and link2. both were setup long ago and everything works fine but today somehow on link2 edit bindings were changed and assign to All unassigned ip address. initially both links points to the same ipaddress with respective domain name.now link2 was working on USA/Asia but not working on Europe and Africa countries. that means if customer from USA tries to connect it from USA/ASIA can work on that but a customer from Africa and Europe cant access the site. once i change the ip address to its original ip address it works fine. so i want to know how edit binding for all unassigned ip address working?

does anyone have any idea about this ?

"All unassigned IP addresses" means all IP addresses not explicitly assigned to other sites.

You have two sites on the same server. Site A is bound to a specific IP address. If you bind site B to "all unassigned", it will not listen on the same IP address as site A, because that address is already assigned.

okay i got your point but why is that happen that customer from USA/ASIA can access the site but not the customer from Africa and Europe.

Because your site was not listening on the correct address. You'd need to check your DNS registration and router settings to determine why it only affected users in specific regions.
