Hi Deb,

So far as I know on this issue, I'd suggest you can build one simple asp page in the web site root. For each request, you can redirect them to the
sub site.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

Does this answer your question? Thank you for using Microsoft NewsGroup!

You need to:

1) Add a host record for the name that you wish to use, pointing to the
correct address, in the appropriate DNS zone, or

2) Add an entry to your hosts file

This has nothing to do with not being able to reach a system by a given
name. A conditional ASP redirect will only work if ASP can extract the host
value from the HTTP header. Since the required name is not resolving to the
required IP address, nothing will ever reach the system.

That's DNS. You need a host entry for the name you want to use. IIS
doesn't actually care about what you name it, it responds on an IP,
and unless you've set host headers to something it simply serves the
site that answers on that IP. DNS translates the name to the IP.

Thank you. That worked exactly how I wanted it to.
