If it's a one-off you could use an IIS website that redirects to the full URL, this would not maintain the short URL. &nbsp;yOU COULD ALWAYS USE DNS as well to manage this.<br />
<br />
ACH1LLES has pointed you in the right direction for correct planning from the start though.

My site collection name is <a href="http://intranet.companyname.com/sites/secure/itdept/public/default.aspx" rel="ugc">http://intranet.companyname.com/sites/secure/itdept/public/default.aspx</a><br />
