Pointing to a specific page on a website

[Scott]

I need all traffic to humanscalesafety.com to point to
this webpage
(http://www.humanscale.com/evacuation_tools/index.cfm),
not our main page.

Any ideas?

 

[Michael Holzemer]

Put a site redirection into IIS for that URL with a host header of
humascalesafety.com

DNS resolution cannot do that - you might consider changing the main page to
temporarily (?) redirect to the page you want. DNS does not have anything to
do with web pages per se - it merely (!) resolves names to IP addresses or
vice versa.

Kerry is correct -- there are two or three ways to fake the effect
you seek but they involve the WEB SERVERS (not DNS directly.)

You either redirect from the main page (an HTML feature) or you
build Virtual Servers that point to different (specialized) content
directorie and pages based on IP address, Host headers (name
requested but at the WEB server not DNS), or by ports (listed
for completeness.)

Here's some examples using HTML in your main page to redirect to the page
you want it to go to:

We are not hosting the website. I am not sure what web
server the company hosting it is using.
http://grc.com/id/idserve.htm

So, there is no way for DNS to point to a specific
webpage?

Heh, that would be an exploit not a feature! *g*

Not sure with IIS but easy enough to "redirect" in index.htm(l),
or you can direct with a .htaccess file if on unix/linux.

You will need access to first server, or contact the webmaster
of the site/domain you need pointer from and to.

Since the domains are different (apparently) then you could
make a zone file to specific web server if you are the
authoritative nameserver. No problem to hold 2-4 domains
on the same host. All_else is territory of domain owner or
respective webmasters.
