Re: Setting up DNS records for internal web sites

I think you'd just need to create a CNAME called MyWeb that pointed to
serverb.mydomain.local, wouldn't you?

No, he is correct that he would need a ZONE with the
name MyWeb IF he wants DNS to resolve this (as opposed
to the Hosts file or NetBIOS resolution.)

What he is trying to do is very unusual but if that is the
real goal then he needs the zone plus the blank A record.

Hello. I've searched through this group trying to find the answer but
the things that look like they would work havn't for me. I have 4
servers but I'm working with two of them. ServerA is running Windows
2003 standard with AD, DNS, WINS, and file/print sharing. ServerB is
running Windows 2003 Web Edition with IIS6. My domain is
"domain.local". I've setup DNS for the domain and all the other
servers are resolving correctly. I can ping "ServerB.domain.local"
just fine. Now I want to host a site on ServerB called "MyWeb" (no
.com, no www).

For internal use only, right?

I make a site on the IIS6 box and set the headers to
"MyWeb". I then tried adding a new forward lookup zone called "MyWeb"
with a single blank A record pointing to ServerB's IP address. This
is not working. When I try to access it I get no response and trying
to ping it does not resolve. What am I doing wrong?
