Users would normally type “server” in the URL field of the Notes client and/or IE. This is internal… so no server.com required just common name registered in DNS. This works fine… but we need users to be able to enter “help” in the URL field (browsers translate this as http://help) and be redirected to a certain Db. It can be http://server/help.nsf (doesn’t have to be help - all same server). The DNS alias has ben setup… help is alias for server.abc.com (as known internally). I have tried different redirection docs (old R5 and internet sites/rules). I must be missing something… typing “help” does return a page… just the homepage for “server”. Thanks team…

Michael,
You can setup a Web Site document in the Admin client under;
Configuration\Web\Internet Sites\
Set “Host names or addresses mapped to this site:” to be your URL for the help alias.
Set all other relevante fields and the Home URL on the Configuration tab.
No need for any rules.
HTH - Let me know if you still have difficulties.
Subject: RE: Redirection & Unique Host
It did not work… there were no internet site docs. I added http://help and help to the “hostnames/IPs mapped to this site” field and added the http://… URL for the help center. I then refreshed http w/o success. Does help have to be listed as a supported domain in the server doc/config? Could another issue be DNS? “help” is an alias for “server”? This could be the problem since it’s probably (under covers?) changing it to the “server”… still shows “help” in URL field. Getting closer… thx team.
