Adding DNS aliases with CNAME

Adding DNS aliases with CNAME

You specify host aliases by using CNAME records. Aliases enable a single host computer to appear to be multiple host computers. For example, the host gamma.microsoft.com can be made to appear as www.microsoft.com and ftp.microsoft.com.

To create a CNAME record, follow these steps:

1. In the DNS Manager console, expand the Forward Lookup Zones folder for the server with which you want to work.

2. Press and hold or right-click the domain you want to update, and then tap or click New Alias (CNAME).

3. In the Alias Name text box, enter the alias. The alias is a single-part host name, such as www or ftp .

4. In the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) For Target Host text box, enter

the full host name of the computer for which the alias is to be used.

5. Tap or click OK.
