I have an intranet web site that is being hosted by server named web1 (Win2K_SP4 Server/IIS 5.0).
I want clients to access this web site not like http://web1/VirtualDir but like http://SERVER/VirtualDir.
I created both CNAME and A records on DNS for SERVER (with the same IP of web1) but didn't work...
I think there is something that I need to the on IIS.
Thanx in advance...

Did you add host header name on web1 as SERVER?
go to properties of the web site, click advanced, and you'll see it. If you
didn't, that's what you're missing.
