Interview Question :: How to add a Web Server to my Domain


I have a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise, its running the entire company functions, DNS, DHCP, Active Directory, MS SQL 2005, IIS 6...etc
I am already publishing some test websites to be available in the domain, i was able to do it, now thorughout the domain, everybody can type in their browser: websiteName.domainName.local and access the sites...
I wanna add a new separate 2003 server to use it only for testing my websites, i want it to be visible in the domain as before, and i also wanna be able to use shorter names such as http://sitename
without mentioning the domain name...
I know my case includes many parts so forgive me on that...and thanks in advance for any answers

Here are couple ideas...



Makes long domain, short.

And changes or hides your long URL.



This is the only way to do what you want without having a host to forward domains and such.



Or for test sites I have a webserver at home and just use my IP in browser. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx



Hope this helps somewhat.
