Split DNS - http redirection internal windows dns server.

External dns we use dnsmadeeasy, we can do a http redirect easily.

Internally we use windows dns server. How can I do the same redirection?

Can I create a dns record on the internal server to point to the dnsmadeeasy, and then use the existing redirection created there?

if internal and external DNS name is same then no need to create any record... the internal windows dns will take take of it... it'll check the request is related to internal or external... then redirects to the specific path...

if the internal and external dns names are different then you have to create both domain forward lookupzone and reverse lookup zone in  DNS.
and create concirned record i.e  A host Record... etc. in the both DNS zones... to  handle the DNS server.

all the best

DNS cannot do http redirection

You can create ALIAS (CNAME) on DC which point one FQDN to another FQDN

you can have same FQDN as CNAME within internal and external DNS (Split DNS) and point it to same FQDN

Externally via dnsmadeeasy we setup a http redirection to send traffic from projects.contoso.com >>> contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa

I need to do the same thing internally. We have contoso.com zone setup on a windows DNS server internally. I believe this configuration is called split DNS.

Creating a CNAME dns records that points projects.contoso.com >>> contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/pwa, does not work.

ANy other ideas?

Does Microsoft Azure have a IIS redirection micro service available?

I don't want to have to maintain a whole windows server just to do a simple redirection.

I'd prefer to have a cloud solution that I can use. Any ideas?

3rd party solution you already using for external world

How could you use external solution for your internal redirection

I don't see any solution apart from IIS

OR else check with your app vendor if it can set redirection within code itself?
