Minneapolis's questions

I have an ASP.NET app. The main page is at www.MyDomain.com/Internal/MainPage.aspx

Management asked for a shorter, more easily remembered URL.

I purchased www.short.com.

I set up domain forwarding with masking so that:

www.short.com = www.MyDomain.com/Internal/MainPage.aspx

SO...when we type www.short.com, we DO get the login page (since ASP.NET needs to automatically authenticate).

BUT...after the user enters username and password in Internet Explorer, they go nowhere.

The form is just cleared, and they stay on the login page.

Can we really do this with the DNS record?

Or must we host a new website and do a redirect from the default page of www.short.com?

Thanks!

We have data in a SQL Server database hosted remotely.

Can I set up Infopath forms so that the data lands in our remote SQL Server instance instead of on the local Microsoft server where the employees get their Outlook mail?

We don't run Sharepoint, just Exchange and file sharing on the Windows server.
