We have a single forest domain running an internal wiki site. I want to call up the site by typing the site name instead of the full http address. I thought I could use cname in dns but when I type the name in IE takes me to an external site. If I ping the name it shows the full Http://sitename.php. I an not sure if it is because IE is overriding the dns settings or if I need to change something on dns to loop it back. My cname setting is
Alias name TheRock
Fully qualified domain name therock.domainname.com
Fully qualified http servername sitename
For this I would like to just type in therock in internets address bar and have the site come up. Any thoughts?
