I want to keep both host name, serverA and serverB.<br />
When i do alternate access mapping to the web application in Central Admin, the serverA will be replaced by serverB. User can not user <a href="http://serverA" rel="ugc">http://serverA</a>&nbsp;to access web site.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We have a WSS3 sharepoint server named ServerA.<br />
We want add ServerB as the alias name. If we just add additional A recordwith same IP in to the DNS record, some form submit will prompt error. Such as <br />
<br />
Exception: The Web application at <a href="http://serverB" rel="ugc">http://serverB</a>&nbsp;could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.<br />

Any idea how to have two host name for one server?<br />
Thank you.<br />
