<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Details of my environment:<br />
<br />
I have a test setup which is not intended to be used by any clients outside of the test network.<br />
<br />
Essentially I have 3 machines:<br />
<br />
Server 1: Windows Server 2008 R2; Domain controller and DNS server; domain FQDN = dc1.domain.com<br />
<br />
Server 2: WIndows Server 2008 R2; SharePoint 2010; FQDN = sp1.domain.com<br />
<br />
Client 1: WIndows 7; Test Client (IE); FQDN = clt1.domain.com<br />
<br />
====================<br />
<br />
My goal is to be able to browse the SharePoint site from the Test client via <a href="http://domain" rel="ugc">http://domain</a>&nbsp;and/or http://domain.com<br />
<br />
I am able to browse the site if I use the SharePoint server machine name: &nbsp;<a href="http://sp1" rel="ugc">http://sp1</a><br />
<br />
I'm guessing this is as simple as creating some sort of record in DNS, I'm just not sure what kind of record to create. &nbsp;Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks!<br />

Register SharePoint URL In DNS In A Closed Environment

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
