    Could someone walk me through setting up an alias on 2000 server? I feel like an idiot not to be able to set this up correctly. Thanks. Darroll

          From Windows Help: To add an alias (CNAME) resource record to a zone Open DNS. In the console tree, click the applicable forward lookup zone. DNS applicable DNS server Forward Lookup Zones applicable zone On the Action menu, click New Alias. In the Alias name text box, type the alias name. In the Fully qualified name for target host text box, type the fully qualified domain name of the DNS host computer for which this alias is to be used. As an option, you can click Browse to search the DNS namespace for hosts in this domain that have host (A) records already defined. Click OK to add the new record to the zone. Note: To open DNS, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click DNS Not much help, is it? A CNAME record in DNS creates an alias for the host other than the base name contained in an A record. If this isn't helpful, perhaps a bit more detailed information about what you're trying to accomplish would be in order...
