Great. &nbsp;I appreciate the post however, &nbsp;we do not have admin privileges on the users machines and do not want to modify their host files. &nbsp;Any other ideas of how to do this without modifying host files ?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
Our network is a non-active directory network with about 400 clients. &nbsp;We provide internet services and utilize &nbsp;a CiscoCisco ASA 5512 for our firewall. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'm creating an internal ticketing system (OStickets) and would like to give the users a URL to goto instead of an IP. &nbsp;This URL will need to stay local and not travel outside our network. &nbsp;We do not have a DNS server, but I could install one if that's what it takes to make this work.<br />
<br />
For example: &nbsp;Our users would type, &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="http://www.example.com" rel="ugc">www.example.com</a> &nbsp;(or something like that) &nbsp;and goto our internal ticketing system / web server instead of trying to resolve on the internet.<br />
<br />
Any ideas of how to do this or if it's possible. &nbsp; If I left out needed information, please let me know and I'll add it.<br />
<br />
Thanks !!!

Create / Re-route a URL to a local web server (ticketing system)

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.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
