Are you saying to right click and create another zone? If I create a cname under the forward lookup zone it automatically inserts example.com, so any alias I create has myhost.webhost.exmaple.com<wbr />.

Hi Experts...<br />
Currently we have &nbsp;an &nbsp;edu Institute that is hosting our external dns records. We currenttly host our own web servers but are moving them to a cloud provider. They are asking for a cname record to be created that points to their servers using our current address. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
lets say our current web site is <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="ugc">www.example.com</a>. &nbsp;We need to create a cname record on the dns &nbsp;record that points <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="ugc">www.example.com</a>&nbsp;to webhost.com. &nbsp;We have created an A record for the webhost.com on our dns servers, but when I try to create a cname record it only creates an alias for webhost.com.example.com. Can the institute hosting our dns create another zone for webhost.com then create the cname? Is it possible to do redirection like this? <br />
<br />

Any help is greatly appreciated.

lets say our current web site is www.example.com.  We need to create a cname record on the dns  record that points www.example.com to webhost.com.  We have created an A record for the webhost.com on our dns servers, but when I try to create a cname record it only creates an alias for webhost.com.example.com.

DNS Cname Record Redirect External domain name

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.

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
