If I have a DNS server eg. ns1.mydomain.com. How do I create a redirector
that when people type in www.mynet.com it would take them to their free
website on their isp eg.. host.myspace.com . Just like the ISP
web/email forwarder and redirector...

Redirection is not a DNS function.

You can do that in IIS. When a request comes in for www.mynet.com, instead
of going to a local folder for the files, you select an http redirect and
you type in wherever you want to send them.

You can probably also make an alias in DNS, such as one called www under
mynet.com, and the record wold be wherever you want to send them. This is
not usually recommended. Test it out first
