MS2003 DNS - Forward domain to external website - help!
I have an MS2003 server running in the DMZ which hosts our external DNS. We apparently have a 3rd party vendor hosting an onlinestore for our company. I have a 'mycompany.com' zone in DNS. I need to create a setup in DNS where onlinestore.mycompany.com is redirected to an external address at www.3rd-party.com/mycompany . I created a subdomain called 'onlinestore' under 'mycompany.com' in DNS. In the 'onlinestore' folder in DNS I created a CName entry to point to 'www.3rd-party.com/mycompany . Will this work? It doesn't seem to and I need a solution ASAP!thanks,Lee

Well first off this is an Exchange forum. Exchange is an email application, so your DNS questions should probably go in something more relevant. As for DNS, no you cannot create a record pointing to slash something. You can point it to the actual domain name, thats it. For example CName points to www.3rd-party.com but not www.3rdparty.com/mycompany
