Not sure if you could do this with WINS, but you could certainly do it with DNS - as long as DNS was your primary means of name resolution.

Simply, create aliases (CNAME) records for the hosts in question, i.e. create a zetafax CNAME record to SISISN05's IP address.

Hope that helps.

If your network rules / configuration will allow for this server to show up in the network list as "more than one" server name; then you can make the following changes to the registry.

To define extra names for a machine perform the following:

Start the registry editor (regedt32.exe)
 
Move to HEY_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

From the Edit menu select "Add Value"
Set the type to REG_SZ is you want one extra name or REG_MULTI_SZ if you want more than one and enter a name of OptionalNames.
Click OK

You will then be prompted for a value. Enter the other name (or names if type REG_MULTI_SZ, one on each line) you want it to be known as and click OK.
 
Close the registry editor

Reboot the machine


I have used this routine before and you simply "see" the server show up as server1, server2, etc.

Hope this is usefull.

Open Registry Editor (Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe)
Create a value called "OptionalNames" under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
of type REG_SZ (for one alias name) or REG_MULTI_SZ (for multiple alias names) and enter the alias name (or names in case you selected REG_MULTI_SZ) in the prompted String box.
Just stop and start the Server Service(Remember, It also stops NetLogon and Computer Browser services and don't forget to start them after starting Server service) and the alias name  should appear in your Network Neighbourhood.
You can also test it Start\Run \\aliasname.

It works so I'll give points tou you, canadian.

Great help for me also, thanks Canadian, prasadklk and pedro for posing the question.

Intesting note, my alias was registered in DNS (not Windows DNS), my NT 4.0 boxes could map by the alias prior to this change, but not my w2k and xp boxes. After the hack...all was well for both.

Thanks All
