hi mcp,

it seems externally, either redirect or cname created when type in www.abc.com or http://abc.com, either redirects www.def.com or cname (or "alias" means 1 name points name) sends www.def.com. we'll need mimic done externally internal dns.

i assume internal active directory domain name abc.com.

i assume that the web site hosted @ web service provider , not in internal network.

there 2 ways this, 1 knowing ip address of www.def.com, , 1 based on redirecting website without knowing ip address. easier method think using cname (alias).

the following steps assumes not knowing ip address , website hosted externally:

  1. open dns, click on abc.com expands zone records in right hand pane.
  2. you should see www entry. more pointing ip address. we're going create cname www entry, need delete current www entry.
  3. once deleted, right-click 'abc.com' , choose "new alias (cname)."
  4. for alias name, type in www
  5. in field titled "for qualified domain name (fqdn) target host:" type in www.def.com.
  6. click ok.

that take care of www.abc.com redirect www.def.com.

however, making work internally http://abc.com (without www) little more difficult. because abc.com record parent domain record used active directory. can see in abc.com zone host name record (also called "a" record) called "(same parent)." record cannot altered because used active directory. active directory, record referred "ldalipaddress" , used various ad services. each domain controller registers record automatically. if have 3 domain controllers, example, see 3 of these hostname records.

however, there 1 way make work. it's not method recommend because requires install iis on domain controllers. however, appears have iis on domain controllers because receiving the "under construction page." guess half way there.

assuming domain controller is windows 2003...

  1. open iis console. (start, administrative tools, internet information services).
  2. in iis console, expand web sites, default web site.
  3. right click default web site, choose properties.
  4. click on home directory tab.
  5. in radio selection box, there 3 selections. click on selection says "a redirection url"
  6. once clicked, field below change "redirect to:"
  7. type in www.def.com.
  8. click ok

if of assumptions correct, should work you. if assumptions incorrect, please correct me , can post update steps.
