I'm trying to set up an internal web page that is accessible by typing a simple word like, "internalweb" into a workstation browser. It's currently set up on a server already running an internal website that is accessible by just typing the server name in a browser. The new one is on a different port than the default 80. I have two domain controllers and am wondering if there is any way i can set up the ip of the web server with a defined hostname for that site for that port - instead of having to type http:\\servername:port#. <--that's currently what i have to do to access the new one. For the current default site I can just type the "servername" and it goes. For the new one I want to be able to just type a designated name such as "serverweb" to make things easier for viewers. All servers are Windows 2000 advanced. I also don't want to have to edit the hosts file on each workstation.. Any help? Thanks!

Darn. I know for sure I saw that in the 70-290 book. Lemme look for an exact how to. Seems it was test question and lab even maybe. For sure you can set up dns and do it that way but seems to me it was easier.

First you have to add an alias in your dns ppointing to your server. ex: site1 = 192.168.1.3 -- site2 = 192.168.1.3 In ie site1.yourdomaine.com and site2.yourdomaine.com will be redirect to your serveur (the same for both) Then in IIS use the same TCP port for all your web site(80) and use host header to make a difference between your sites instead. (click "Advanced..." in the Web Site tab. For site1 set the host header to site1.yourdomaine.com and for site2 set it to site2.yourdomaine.com. Now you can access your two sites installed on the same server by typing site2.your.. or site1.your.. Note that juste typing your server name won't work anymore. (sorry for my english)
