URL Redirection via DNS

[Jeff Lightner]

Short answer:  No

 

Longer answer:  Only FQDN can be aliased with CNAME.   That's not
technically a redirect.   (e.g. mike.mydomain.com being CNAME to
Ralph.mydomain.com is OK - however you can not make
mike.mydomain.com/landingpage do anything because "/landingpage" is not
part of the FQDN so has nothing to do with DNS.)

 

Minor Rant:  Why don't web developers know how to do simple URL
redirection and quit asking DNS Admins to do it for them?

Or it's too much complex to me, or you're terrible wrong in concepts.

 

DNS has nothing to do with URL redirection, that's a web server job, or
again, it's too much complex to me. :) What would be an example of what
you want to do?

	Hi guys,

	 

	Is it possible to setup DNS to redirect URLs in the address bar
of an IE?
