How to redirect DNS domain to a web server |
|
|
My AD domain called company.com and I have a web server called
www.company.com. So My internet DNS server handle all request for company.com
domain. I have a host record created for www.company.com. My problem is when
people inside my company type in company.com in the URL instead of
www.company.com, they will get what every web site that available on one of
my domain controller. I want to redirect browser request for company.com to
www.company.com, how can I do this? Thanks for your help in advance. |

Since your AD name is the same as your public name, you won't be able to
change that record in DNS. The record is called the LdapIpAddress record and
is used for some portions of AD functionality.
However, there is a little trick to this to make it work. On EACH of your
domain controllers, install IIS, and in the default website properties,
under the Home folder tab, redirect it to www.company.com.
Otherwise, tell your folks they must use the www in front of it. Another
little trick, as long as the website is truly a .com site (won['t work with
nets, edu's, etc, just com's), type in "company" (without the quotes), and
hit and hold CTRL, then ENTER and let go of both keys, and the browser will
automatically turn it into www.company.com.

Ace, where do I look for this "LdapIpAddress record" in the DNS management
console? I have a forward zone which is my AD domain name (not
AD-integrated) called ebiz.local and I do not see LdapIpAddress anywhere.
Since the zone is standar primary I dumped the contents of the zone text
file to below.
;
; Database file ebiz.local.dns for ebiz.local zone.
; Zone version: 18
;
@ IN SOA ebiz-gate.ebiz.local.
hostmaster.ebiz.local. (
18 ; serial number
900 ; refresh
600 ; retry
86400 ; expire
3600 ) ; default TTL
;
; Zone NS records
;
@ NS ebiz-gate.ebiz.local.
;
; Zone records
;
@ 600 A 192.168.1.2
;
; Delegated sub-zone: _mscdcs.ebiz.local.
;
_mscdcs NS ebiz-gate.ebiz.local.
; End delegation

It's this record:
@ 600 A 192.168.1.2
In the console, it shows up as:
(same as parent) A 192.168.1.2
It doesn't say "LdapIpAddress", but that's what the record is called that
the netlogon service auto registers. Do not mess with it.

Thank you so much Ace. That is essentially the first line of the file (the
ones above are commented out). Can you tell me what do the "@" and "600"
mean in that line.

600 is the TTL in seconds, and the "@" means to use the parent's name, and
in this case it's your domain name. So when yuo type in http://domain.com,
it resolves to that address. If there are multiples, such when you have
multple DCs, it will Round Robin between them.
