Not able to mask test.example.com with a CNAME of live.example.com. Simple issue?

  • 772

Windows 2008, IIS7 environment.

Have a site running on our Web Server where I'm trying to simplify the URL in the form of http://test-machine-name.sub.example.com to be http://live.sub.example.com.

I have created a CNAME of live for test-machine-name.sub.example.com in our DNS but I am unable to browse to it using that URL.

I would like people to be able to reach the server using the simpler live address.

The site bindings are for the test.sub.example.com and all available ip addresses of the web server. If I can get this to work internally, then I can do the same for the external ip address. I feel like this is a very simple configuration but I can't get it to work. What am I missing?

  1. Make sure to add live.sub.example.com to the site bindings.
