Guest Sue Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Hi, I have an internal domain, in the format vpr.univ.edu. There is a web server on this domain that can be reached on the web by its name red.vpr.univ.edu. I removed this webserver red, from the domain vpr, and made the ip address of red point to http://www.vpr.univ.edu (instead of red.vpr.univ.edu). I now have a problem. I am able to reach red from any computer outside the vpr domain using the URL http://www.vpr.univ.edu. But from any pc inside the vpr domain, I still have to use the url red.vpr.univ.edu I removed red from the DNS server for vpr.univ.edu, also from the hosts file. What do I need to do to make pc's within the vpr domain refer to red using www instead of red? Sorry if the question is somewhat winding, I am new to DNS. Thanks very much for all help!
Guest Anthony [MVP] Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Re: Windows server 2003 - change Domain Name for Webserver Sue, You need to create a host or alias record on your internal DNS for a host called "www" in the DNS zone vpr.univ.edu.

Another question, - I removed red from the internal domain, do I still have to creat a alias for host www in the DNS zone vpr.udel.edu? (red does not belong to the domain vpr.udel.edu anymore). Thank you again.

I changed the www host A to point to the IP for this server (it was pointing to a different server currently not in use) and this solved the problem!
