This is not what DNS does. It matches an IP with a domain name. Changing the URL needs to be done from within the web-page.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 07:38, Binmakhashen, Latif <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Latif.Binmakhashen@omnicare.com">Latif.Binmakhashen@omnicare.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

wording your reply more professionally. That’s exactly what I was trying to
find out since I’ve never tested it. </span></font></p>
<p><font color="blue" face="Comic Sans MS" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; color: blue;">So in this
case, the CNAME <a href="http://mike.mydomain.com" target="_blank">mike.mydomain.com</a> will display the web page of
<a href="http://Ralph.mydomain.com" target="_blank">Ralph.mydomain.com</a> but the URL at the address bar will remain <a href="http://mike.mydomain.com" target="_blank">mike.mydomain.com</a>
and there is no way to get DNS to display the actual URL rather than continue
to display the CNAME?</span></font></p>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Longer answer: Only FQDN can be
aliased with CNAME. That’s not technically a redirect.
(e.g. <a href="http://mike.mydomain.com" target="_blank">mike.mydomain.com</a> being CNAME to <a href="http://Ralph.mydomain.com" target="_blank">Ralph.mydomain.com</a> is OK – however you can
not make <a href="http://mike.mydomain.com/landingpage" target="_blank">mike.mydomain.com/landingpage</a> do anything because “/landingpage” is
not part of the FQDN so has nothing to do with DNS.)</span></font></p>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Minor Rant: Why don’t web developers
know how to do simple URL redirection and quit asking DNS Admins to do it for
them?</span></font></p>
