Title: WayOT: Need DNS assistance

Here's one way that I've used a lot for such situations:   Set up a website under domain name. On the home page, you have a few choices:  - Set up a page that refreshes itself with the page on the verizon site. (http-refresh), or  - Set up a page that redirects the user (response.redirect in ASP), or  - Set up a horizontal-split frame set with a zero-height page and a 100% height page. The 100% height page is the verizon page.   Although frames have fallen into disfavor lately, they are valuable for this application and may be the best approach. You would have the advantage that since you are always in the frameset, the customer's URL would be displayed, not verizon's...   Or set up the complete website on a different server and oput the http-refresh command on the verizon page.   Here is protoypye http-refresh command line. Put it in the header:   <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL="">   Note the weirdness between the qutemarks on the URL part. That is not a typo. You are telling it how many seconds to wait and where to go after that period has elapsed.   -Dave Doherty  Skywaves, Inc. ----- Original Message ----- From: Troy D.

Granted, I’m not DNS expert but I can’t see how I can setup a DNS name to point to this Verizon site? DNS will resolve the IP address fine but how to handle the “/folder/site” address is what I can’t figure out. I know this can simply be set in IIS to point to that home page, but I don’t know about Verizon. How can I make this work? Troy D. Hilton Serveon, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] 302-529-8640
