Now, the two things you refer to, both the above and the load balancing
scenario can be done via BIND, HTTPD, or a load balancer...your choice.

I hope that answers your question.

Subject: [ale] OT- sorta - DNS


The boss calleth on me today, with a 'simple request'. This is for a small
business site: what I want to achieve is to have any end-user simply enter a
valid domainname into their browser, then have that name redirect to a
business website, i.e. they'll enter smallbiz.com, and they go off to
www.smallbiz.com. Obviously many big sites do this: for instance, yahoo.com
will redirect to www.yahoo.com. An nslookup on yahoo.com will give the
IP/names of several servers - or maybe cluster redirectors, or a bunch of
load balancing devices, perhaps? Anyway, simply doing a cname to a webserver
doesn't work (didn't think it would, but I tried anyway. ;) Is there a
simple way to do this? Any good concise, favored, resources on the web that
address this? Our external DNS server is an ancient Solaris 2.6 box, with a
really nasty old version of bind. In-house webservers are iPlanet ws6sp5 on
Solaris 9.

Thanks.
