I have a link to a PDF on my website, which has some of its files on one server and some of them on another. How can I point the link to one of the two? My code looks like this:
<a href="/pdf/testing.pdf">Click here</a>

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do. Please explain yourself a little better. – Esser Feb 04 '14 at 21:14

Welcome to StackOverflow. I posted an answer for you. You need to point the `href` attribute to a specific server using literal URL's. – digitalextremist Feb 04 '14 at 21:47

Use literal URLs.
For example:
<a href="http://server-one.domain.tld/pdf/testing.pdf">Click here</a>
Or...
<a href="http://server-two.domain.tld/pdf/testing.pdf">Click here</a>
You need FQDN's in there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_domain_name
Here is an article for you: http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/a/href
