Re: Internal Host without FQDN

Read inline please.

In news:1527FA2A-ED52-49FA-BB6D-98E6E6B3ACCC@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Cy <Cy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> typed:
Here is some more info, my DCs have different domain names than the
clients since the name change for example, dcserver1.forwardzone1.com
FQDN according to the dns site, and my client computers and the
intranet server are clientcpu.forwardzone2.local and
intranet.forwardzone2.local, etc.

It does not matter what domain DCs or DNS servers are in, if you want
http://intranet to bring up your web site, add a record named intranet to
the zone (or zones) that are in the DNS suffix search list of the clients
accessing the site.
As long as that web server at the IP a site that will open by that name it
make no difference where the client is, or what its DNS suffix is. BUT, you
will need the intranet record to any zone in the DNS suffix search list.


so when i type the alias i want in the cname it automatically adds
forwardzone2.local to whatever name I put there so if i want my
intranet site to be
www.ourintranet.com the cname resource record under fqdn would put
ourintranet.com.forwardzone2.local automatically when all i want is
the www.ourintranet.com

This would require web site redirects, if you enter http://intranet in a
browser, unless the seb server redirectds this name to another site,
http://intranet will stay in the browser.
