You do this in DNS You’d have records for: ServerA -> IP address ServerB -> IP address Already, so that browsers can find ServerA and ServerB.
In the same DNS zone (if you are using AD at work, then you already most likely have Microsoft DNS running to support that AD domain), create a CNAME record that points “myapp” -> A record for ServerA or ServerB. CNAME is effectively an alias record that points to another record From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com <ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com> On Behalf Of Tom P Sent: Friday, 20 September 2019 3:05 PM To: ozDotNet <ozdotnet@ozdotnet.com> Subject: Friendly URL for intranet apps Hi folks I’m moving an intranet app from an old server to a new server. Currently the users access the site with a URL like http://serverA/appName/. The issue is now that I’m moving the app the server name in the URL will change to http://serverB/appName. All the users are forced to update their bookmarks which is a bit lame in my view. I’m sure this isn’t a new issue. What is a good way to handle this? Would be good to have a URL like http://myapp.mydomain.com.au but where would this be set up? In IIS somewhere? DNS entry? How and where to set it up? Cheers -- Thanks Tom
