Where I work, we use an enterprise web-based software. To access the different pages, users need to enter a long url, like the one in the title: http://10.1.10.7:8900/some/long/path
. The different pages are located at http://10.1.10.7:8900/some/long/path/<specific_page>
. The /some/long/path
is constant across all the pages users will access. I want users to be able to enter website/<specific_page
into a browser instead, where website
is anything I specify (including something like ourapp.com
). I want to make it as easy as possible for users to access the different pages because even I have trouble remembering the exact url.
We have a pretty-well established network, with modern networking and server equipment. That includes domain servers with the DNS role installed. I tried quickly adding both A name and CNAME records, but neither of them were what I was looking for (A record is only for an IP address).
