I have just taken over a support contract for a company.<br />
<br />
The previous IT guy (in his infinite wisdom) made the local windows 2003 domain companyname.com (where companyname is the companys real website address!)<br />
<br />
he had got around this issue by putting an entey somewhere in the dns (i assume - idonmt know for sure) which forwards any local requests for the compnay website out to the company who host it.<br />
<br />
the company have recently change their website hosting comapny so now any local requests for the website go the old website. &nbsp;ican add an entry to the loca hosts file directing the website to the new ip address and this works fine. &nbsp;i dont want to have to do this for all pc's so i would be very grateul if someone could tell me where i can do this centrally.<br />
<br />
<br />

how to redirect a website request using DNS

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.
