New Linode from scratch and move domain from the other one
I have a Linode with some domains hosted, it´s working, but i think i messed up the server a little, so i want to start a new Linode from scratch to host just one domain.
I want to test the domain in the new Linode before deleting the other account, can i do that? I mean, how can i control which server (IP) is in charge of that domain at that time? By the DNS manager?
Thanks

You could also modify the hosts file on your client machine so your test browser thinks the site name is on the second IP, or create a different name in dns (test-
For example: My domain nameserver is pointing to ns1.linode.com.
If i have the same domain in two linodes, how can i control it?
I know that in the A/AAAA Records i give an IP Address in one linode and another one in the other linode.
For testing, if i delete one A/AAAA Records, the other linode will resolve it?
Do you know what i mean?
If you're trying to test the server in isolation (keep sending people to the old running for now) then it would be better to change your local hosts file, or use a different site name.
