Hi, I have set up a windows 2k3 to manage the network, I have dns setup and the users are able to browse the web, but I'm have trouble blocking sites eg trademe.co.nz. I would like to redirect it to the company web site.
A "A" record is set from trademe.co.nz to 192.168.4.5,.Do I need to put a CNAME in.

I have been throwing into the deep end, seting up this server, and my level with terminlogy in dns isn't that great.

Thank in advance
 
You would need a CNAME if 192.168.4.5 already has an A record for it. For example if server 1 is 192.168.4.5 but it also hosts an intranet site lets say called homepage you would put a cname in there called homepage for that address.

To check go to a computer and ping the name of the site and see what ip it gives you. If it gives you something besides what you want try a ipconfig /flushdns on that computer and then try it again. Also make sure your internal dns servers are set up on the workstation and not a public one.
