How to route a URL to another location

Guest

Hi there,

I am using a Windows 2000 Server. I have this local forum at
http://server/forum

But I moved this forum to another server, and the link is now http://pdc/forum

the old URL is no longer valid, and its a broken link now. How to I route
the old link, such that when users key in the old URL, they will be routed to
the new URL?

Do I add a DNS entry to solve the problem? How to I add such a DNS entry
then?

Sorry, I am not very familar with this. Please guide me thru..

Put this code as the default page on the old server:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="1; URL=http://pdc/forum">
</HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML>

I can't place the codes on the old server. The old server has been removed
from the LAN. I migratted the web forum from http://server/forum to the new
server, at http://pdc/forum

In that case, the second option which you originally proposed is indeed
the appropriate solution. Enter an A record in your DNS server where the
name "server" points to the IP address of "pdc", or create an alias
(CNAME) for "server" pointing to "pdc".

Most books on Windows System Administration have an extensive section on
DNS; there are also many helpful web sites and documents published on
the Internet - http://www.dns.net/ springs to mind; also:
