Is it posssible for m开发者_开发技巧e to use CNAME for different domains like

www.domain2.com CNAME www.domain1.com

Both are server from same server but different Virtual host (root paths are different)

Yes, it is valid for a CNAME to point to an entirely different domain. This is often used in the context of using CNAME records to handle the TLD variants on your domain such as:

mydomain.com CNAME mydomain.net.

It is possible to do this at the DNS level, but that effectively means that both domains point to the same resource. If you have 2 different applications serving different content, than this is not the case.
