I'm new to this so I'm not 100% sure this is a DNS problem, but maybe
someone could check my logic...
What I want to do:
Running SBS2000 I want to create some intranets for our office,
accessible like so-
http://mainintranet/
http://developmentintranet/
Within the development intranet, individual sites should be access as
:
http://site1.developmentintranet/
http://site1.developmentintranet/
and so on.
So far this seems to alomst work. In my DNS settings I've got two
zones, compmanyname.local (default sbs) and developmentintranet
(created by me)
IIS has a site using host headers to respond to 'developmentintranet'
it also has several sites with host headers of
'site1.developmentintranet', 'site2.developmentintranet' and so on.
If created hosts in the developmentintranet domain for 'site1','site2'
etc
As it stands, putting http://site1.developmentintranet/ into a
browsers gives me the correct site, but just putting
http://developmentintranet/ gives me 'page cannot be displayed'
If I add a host to my companyname.local zone with the values
host:developmentintranet
ip: local ip
then everything works fine.
Have I done everything correctly so far??
Problem two, which I'm not sure is DNS based.
I also have an ISA site and content rule set up to deny access to the
development intranet to certain users. it works correctly if they
enter 'http://site1.developmentintranet' but not if they just enter
'http://developmentintranet'
The content rule is as follows:
destinations: all internal (for arguments sake, I've also used a
destination set)
schedule: always
action: denied, redirect to other url
applies to: users and groups, specifc users selected
http content: all content
Ideally I'd like to divert them as soon as they enter the development
domain, I'd though possibly i had a DNS issue when ISA would work for
all sites except the 'root'.
Any help or pointers appreciated
cheers
