Holy cow. I've been asking this question in different ways for a couple
years on and off and always someone tells me about the alias command, but
that it breaks PDM. I never put it together that this is what the DNS
Rewrite features does. I've been looking at that check box in PDM for years
but never thought about it. Awesome. Thanks again, Walter. Now I have to
rethink the way we are doing things at the other locations.
