Jeff Thank you for wording your reply more professionally. That's exactly what I was trying to find out since I've never tested it. So in this case, the CNAME mike.mydomain.com will display the web page of Ralph.mydomain.com but the URL at the address bar will remain mike.mydomain.com and there is no way to get DNS to display the actual URL rather than continue to display the CNAME? I hope my question is clear to you guys!

That's not technically a redirect. (e.g. mike.mydomain.com being CNAME to Ralph.mydomain.com is OK - however you can not make mike.mydomain.com/landingpage do anything because "/landingpage" is not part of the FQDN so has nothing to do with DNS.) Minor Rant: Why don't web developers know how to do simple URL redirection and quit asking DNS Admins to do it for them? ________________________________

DNS has nothing to do with URL redirection, that's a web server job, or again, it's too much complex to me. :) What would be an example of what you want to do? Hi guys, Is it possible to setup DNS to redirect URLs in the address bar of an IE?
