• DNS

  Jessica : we have about 500 book about DNS !!!!

  joeqwerty : How many of them have you read so far?

• 1. Setup that server or another in your domain/workgroup as a DNS server. Create a zone for your domain, blah.com

  2. Setup a DHCP server on the same or another network.

  3. On your DHCP scope, tell it to hand out the DNS server of the system you set up in step 1.

  4. Add an A record (on the DNS zone) for your server with the address or just let the dynamic registrations run their course

  Now client computers set for DHCP should be able to locate your server by name.

  MarkM : DHCP doesn't need to be involved in this at all. The DNS server holding the zone for that site just needs to be authoritative. We can't assume that there is an internal network from her question, just one public web server and one registered domain name.

• Assuming:

  1. This a stand-alone server, not a member of a domain
  2. This server is using a public IP address, and isn't behind a firewall that's using Network Address Translation
  3. By "execute xxyy.com", I assume you mean navigate to a URL inside a web browser
  4. Because it's a URL you're trying to access, i'll assume that the "main page of my server" means the home page of a website you'd like to host off that server

  The easiest way to do this would be to add the "DNS Server" role to the operating system, create a Forward Lookup Zone the corresponds to the domain name in question, then add a HOST record in that zone whose name is the same as the root for the zone (xxyy.com), and points to your IP address (73.82.x.x). Then add a CNAME "www" that points to the HOST record you just created (in case people put a www in front of the main URL).

  Then add the IIS role to the server. Create a website (using the wizard), point it to content that's been copied to the inetpub folder in the C: drive. Assign the main IP of the server to the website, and add 2 host header file entries as identities for the site: (1) xxyy.com (2) www.xxyy.com

  Hope that helps...
