How to create a dns rule for my web page that will change the dns suffix.
I have a DNS network with a "veryverryverylong.local" domain name. This is fine for webmail because they only need their ad username. unfortunately for my web page my programmer needs the full name for user logon. users are stuck typing username@verylongdomainnam

Thanks tech. I've already tried the netbios name; it doesn't work. (plus the customer thinks this method is still too long) I've asked the designer about your second suggestion, he'll get back to me via e-mail shortly. there is a standard and windows logon feature in the web page, but standard doesn't work and windows requires the long name. I'm aware that these buttons are really just text fields going to god knows where (minus the guy who wrote the thing).
Still, is there something I can do to give an easier logon name without changing the domain, or using forms based authentication -until he can get that feature running?- if i could get a username@xxx.local logon alias going the pressure would be lowered substantialy until we can get this figured out. all i know is that for it to work though the real domain name would have to remain as the active username for the web page to authenticate with. No is still an acceptable solution to this question.

Web guy's gonna have to take the rap/ thanks.
Also, if whatever web application you are having created uses forms based authentication, then you don't need to enter the domain name at all when logging in, just the username. This would also be true on standard login boxes if you configured the security settings to default to your domainname.
