Typically you fix this on your network, not in DNS, by setting the DNS
search suffix via DHCP, so that when a user enters
http://portal/ they
actually resolve
http://portal.yourdomain.com/.

Hello,
Wondering, how to create custom internal URL's such as
http://portal/
->
https://some-very-long-host01.my.long.domain.com
or, ideally:
http://portal/ ->
https://some-very-long-host01.my.long.domain.com/some-excessively-long-ur...
using FreeIPA for internal network resources? I have a CNAME I
created. It helps a bit but not fully since the CNAME remains in the
URL of the servers and this results in warning about security etc. I
effectively just need a redirect alongside the short URL.
Looking to see if I can get the equivalent of a customized tiny url
effect where I can pick a few short names to use for the internal
network resources I want folks to have an easy access too. Examples
of a few short names that could be handy on internal networks:
http://portal/
http://docs/
http://howto/
http://food/
http://vacation/
etc
Not having much luck tweaking my searches online to get what I'm
looking for w/ FreeIPA. :(
