Its all in the DNS. Just add an A Record in your DNS
For example if your domain is xyzz.com
Go to your DNS and add the server as intranet.xyzz.com.
If the users accessing it are in the same domain, they will need to type http://intranet
If not they will need to type http://intranet.xyzz.com

_______________________________________________Good people, I seek thine counsel.
I have an intranet server running CentOS 5.5, the hostname of this machine is intranet. The users who will be accessing this intranet will be accessing it from Windows XP and 7. The AD and DC are on Windows Server 2008.
My sys admin is sceptical that it is possible for a user to type http://intranet/ on their machine and access the app, she says I have to use the IP address. Unfortunately, I have close to zero knowledge of Windows Domain Controllers, therefore, I am at a loss for facts to use to challenge the evil sys admin.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
