DNS and INTRANET... HOW ?

[news.microsoft.com]

Hi,
I have a DNS for my domain "mydomain.local", a local domain (not in the
web). I just would like to create a way to go to my intranet web server. I
would like that when people simply write http://intranet in their browser,
they can open my intranet web page.. How can i do it ?
How do i can configure my DNS to make it works..
Thanks for helping me..

All they have to do is enter the machine name such as http://machinename . You can
also create an alias [cname] record to your own dns zone that may have a more user
friendly name such as "intranet" . --- Steve

You can't. They need to type in http://intranet.mydomain.local.
That's the way DNS works, you need the fully qualified domain name.
On the other hand, if the web server name is available through
broadcast or other NetBIOS means, you should have no trouble.
