Trying to alias the intranet site with our new IIS server. this
worked yesterday when the intranet was hosted on our older IIS
server. now when i create a CNAME pointing to the new IIS server it
does not get displayed. i can ping the alias name and i get replies
from the IP of the new server! but in the browsers nothing comes up.

It is apparently not a DNS issue since the alias resolves to the correct IP.
Is the default site using a host header?
