DNS name resolution

I never configured DNS before. I have an intranet website
with the url, http://somehost/mywebsite. When entered this
address in the browser's address,
http://somehost/mywebsite/index.aspx will be displayed
automatically because we can configure that in IIS. My
problem is that I have to make sure that if someone in the
company enters "xxx" in the browser, it has to display
http//xxx/index.aspx automatically instead of
http://somehost/mywebsite/index.aspx. The hostname should
not appear in the address bar and it has to be the same
way for all the pages in the website.

Any suggestions?!

Thanks in advance,
Kranthi.
 
Goto the properties of the web site in IIS > Web Site tab > Advanced >
Multiple identities for this web site > add > Host Header name http://xxx >
OK

Now aslong as you have xxx pointing to the web server in DNS, IIS will see
the http://xxx call and goto the default web page....e.g.
http://xxx/index.aspx
