Use the DNS management console to open forward lookup zones, start the new
zone wizard name the new zone special.company.com, after you finish the
wizard open the zone create a new host, Leave the name field blank, give it
IP 2.3.4.5 and create. Win2k will bark at you and say "(same as parent
folder) is not a valid host name)" Click OK to create the record anyway.

Then run ipconfig /flushdns to clear the old record out of your computer DNS
cache.
