Re: Setting up DNS records for internal web sites

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). 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?

I can't find where you resolved this, it is quite easy to resolve, create a
new host (or Alias[CNAME]) named myweb in the domain.local zone. Then,
assuming domain.local is in the DNS suffix search list of all clients
needing access, it will work. I would also recommend adding a host header
for myweb.domain.local but it's not required.
