Killeen Texas Computer Nerds - Domain Alias?

Question

When setting up an .asp script on a DNS server, how do you alias a domain to a sub directory. Specifically, can you hide the directory structure from the public ?

Answer 1

Well, asp runs on the WEB SERVER not the DNS server.. so you will need the WEB SERVER set to do the direction.
You can indeed setup subdomains using DNS -- if you use another IP for them. But that isn't what you are asking..

Here is an article which may help you.

This assumes you are running IIS or PWS servers.
If you are running Apache (which is much better) it is an entry in the Apache Virtual Hosts Config file. Here is one article for that.

Or just do a search for subdomains on Apache.

Yes the directory structure can be "hidden".

Good Luck.
