DNS entry to redirect

[Guest pvong]

Win2003 DNS question. I'm a new at this.

 

Can you make an entry in the DNS that will redirect? Basically, if someone

browse http://home.domain.com, I want it to go to https://srv.domain.com.

Please note I'm redirected to a secure site.

 

Thanks

Hi pvong

 

As far as I know you can if you know the IP address of

https://srv.domain.com.

 

Simply create a new zone in the DNS called (using your example above)

domian.com

 

Then create a New Host (A) record and name it 'home' so the FQDN becomes

home.domain.com.

 

Now add the IP address of https://srv.domain.com.

 

Now when a user types in http://home.domain.com they will be redirected to

https://srv.domain.com.

 

There may be another way but that's how I do it.

Not in DNS. DNS just resolves an IP address.

You can do this in IIS, by setting a redirection in the site that is Home to

the site that is SRV
