Hi, I am using IIS 6.0 and WebSphere Application Server v5.1 to host my intranet based website. Currently WebSite can be accessed by the hostname, Ex. http://xyzmachine.com/app. Instead of machine name I want to use DNS Alias, Ex. http://dnsalias-qa/app. I already registered my alias with the DNS Server and it is pointing to the xyz machine.
When I am trying to access application using dns alias http://dnsalias-qa/app it is going to right place but automatically changning the address to http://xyzmachine.com/app. I don't want to show http://xyzmachine.com/app. Please guide me how to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

Why don't you want people to see your domain name?

Some DNS sites, have a "Mask URL" Option, which basically creates a frame of the site it's linking to, so u can show the www.mydnsalias.com site and really be on your intranet site, for example: 192.168.1.102/app or something
