Re: Internal Host without FQDN

OK, would this work even though the name of the intranet site is
computername1 and the name of the actual cpu hosting the site is
computername1.local?

Special note, I am a novice when it comes to dns, so sorry if i am
misundestanding.

I have an internal sharepoint site configured with private IPs. I am
trying to configure an alias in dns to have a friendly name for my
intranet site.

Our network environment includes: windows server 2003, with Microsoft
Office Sharepoint Server 2007

As mentioned above we do not have a FQDN since this is only a
internal site.

I currently configured a new forward lookup zone with the name of the
intranet site and a cname.

This setup seems to work but I have a feeling this is not the correct
way to configure the alias for the intranet site and I assume I may
run into problems later if it is not configured correctly. I also
want to be able to easliy change the name if need be.

Take an ipconfig /all to get the DNS Suffix search list, add a new host to
the internal zone with the DNS suffix search name.

ex., your ipconfig /all shows a DNS suffix search list of domain.com, then
in the domain.com zone add a new A host record named "intranet" giving the
IP of the web server.
