Hi all;

I'm trying to set up a forward and reverse lookup for a
specfic server and directory but am not having much
success. Maybe this is not possible for instance:

I've got server with a shared directory and need just to
be able to type in the directory name (share name) to show
the listings. ie.. http://sharename

I can type the servername and share (http://server/share)
to get to this but if I need to change the location of the
files to another server, I would like to just update it in
one location, like in DNS. Is this possible? Thanks.

Create a new standard primary forward zone named "sharename". Open that
zone and create a new Host (or A Record) with whatever ip address it needs
to be while leaving the name field blank. Next you can check create a PTR
record at this stage if you like. Now as long as the clients DNS server is
pointed to the edited server you should have no problem finding "sharename".
