>Hi,

>I have a customer where they use several of my ASP.NET applications (it is a large organization with multiple sites). I have always set each ASP.NET application as a separate site. One IT person didn't like it and here is what he did:

After I read on DNS, I would like to ask to confirm that my understanding is correct (and please correct me if I am wrong).
Following the example above.
1. On the customer Web Server I can get to the main page of, say, Site1_app using the following URL:
http://servername/Site1_app/MainPage.aspx2. The IT manager showed me that I can get to the same page as:
http://servername.theirorganizationname.org/Site1_app/MainPage.aspxDoes it mean that he entered in the DNS Manager of their network a "map" (I am sure there is a correct term but I don't know it) that says
"servername.theirorganizationname.org" = "servername" ?
And if my understanding above is correct, he could have name it Anything, right? For example:
"servername.johnsmith" = "servername" and therefore making the following URL work too:
http://servername.johnsmith/Site1_app/MainPage.aspxTIA for any input.
