After recreating a previously deleted Default Web Site in IIS 7, the other sites are no longer accessible by host header (all on :80).

Assuming the local domain is called company.local and having both an A host record for webserver.company.local and CNAME aliases for site_1.webserver.company.local through site_n.webserver.company.local, ping replies from the sites now state hosts cannot be found.

http://webserver does show the IIS welcome page.

What obvious steps might I have forgotten to take after recreating the Default Web Site?

if you can not ping the hosts then it is not IIS at fault. – rob Jun 20 '14 at 09:10
@rob ok makes sense, but nothing has changed on the DNS – Wim Ombelets Jun 20 '14 at 09:13
try manually setting them up in the hosts file to show IIS does work correctly. – rob Jun 20 '14 at 09:14
@rob yes that works – Wim Ombelets Jun 20 '14 at 09:21
cool, IIS is off the hook, now you can have fun tracking down your dns issue. – rob Jun 20 '14 at 09:24
