DNS and IIs configuration

[tomtomtom]

Hello

I know that I am most probably in the worng forum but may be somebody still answers my question???

I developped an application w ColdFusion and I want to host it within a private domain (so the site can only be seen within that domain). Lets assume the domain is called "mydomain.local". There is a server responsible for the DNS, this one is called dnsserver01 (IP 192.168.10.1) and runs Windows Server 2008. Then I have a server called webserver01 (IP 192.168.10.11) , this one is running my ColdFusion application on Windows Server 2003. IIS is running on webserver01 too.

My questions:

- Can I set up something like "myapplication.mydomain.local" which points to my application which I built on webserver01?

- If yes, do I have to set up a "virtual directory" or a "virtual host" on IIS?

- If yes, what do I have to set up on the DNS on dnsserver01? Is it in "forward looking zones"? What record do I have to set up (A record etc)?

Finally I would like that any computer resp. user in the domain mydomain.local can open a browser and type "myapplication.mydomain.local" and my application should show up....

Thank you very much for information

I think you could do it in a much simpler way, unless I am missing something. In the DNS server, map 192.168.10.11 to myapplication.mydomain.local. As you had installed ColdFusion on 192.168.10.11(webserver01) and, presumably, configured ColdFusion for IIS using the Web Server Configuration Tool, you would have automatically created a virtual directory for the ColdFusion site.

These seem like very good questions to ask your local person who looks after the DNS server.
