How to setup DNS for intranet website? 2

[Ovatvvon]

Hello all,

I've been trying to figure out how to setup the DNS server so I can have a single-name for my website internally. I know how to set it up for a normal domain name (i.e.

http://www.myPlace.com),

but what if I want to just write "

http://dev",

or rather, "dev" in the URL bar to hit a development intranet site? How can I set that up? The closest I could get was to get it so I'd have to type "dev.dev", or by setting up a wild-card, I could type [anything].dev. But never just "dev".

Anyone know?

You can add an alias (CNAME) into DNS that points to the apprpriate IP, i have on set up that points to

http://intranet

You set DEV up the same way you set up WWW. Just remember that the fully qualified name for DEV will be dev.myplace.com. It sounds like to me you created a new DNS Zone called DEV and you created a record in that zone, giving you dev.dev.
