My guess would be that in the case of "emergency" they are looking for
something away from their
office and a DSL line. ;)
Now more to the point, you could pull this trick off using a URL
redirection. Perhaps your registrar offers
something like this. Is was popular a while ago to redirect to your
domain to whatever free space you could find.
We run a simple redirection service that allows any hostname and domain
to get redirected to any site and page
that can be specified. (works great for targeted marketing)
As far as the hosting goes... If they cannot accommodate a simple Host
Header configuration I would not want
to leave anything real important in their hands.

Sorry, had to. J

To avoid all of the Me-toos from all of us service providers on the
list, perhaps these offers are best taken off-list?

The hosting company is using Host Headers and will direct incoming
requests to the proper files by host header, not IP address.
Find a new hosting company.

We are using a hosting company.
Our developer is putting together a website that will be accessed
by handheld devices.
We wanted to call the website
http://emergency.floridadistillers.com to resolve to 64.79.167.6,
which is the address of the box that the webhosting company gave us.
The hosting company gave us one of their URL's to use:
http:\\floridadist.web117.discountasp.net
<http://floridadist.web117.discountasp.net>
The developer informs me that the only way this website is going
to work is if the URL that was provided by the hosting company is
used, however, my boss wants to use the
emergency.floridadisillers.com URL.
I run my own primary nameserver here for floridadistillers.com.
Originally, my thought was to just create an A record for
emergency and point it to 64.79.167.6. Now I am being told that
somehow I have to point emergency to
floridadist.web117.discountasp.net. Is there a way to do this in
my DNS? I thought maybe the "alias" record would work for this
(I'm using MS DNS on a win2k server machine) but it's not resolving.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Sharyn
