I sometimes want an easy way to remember a long URL without relying on bookmarks or saved favorites. NameCheap.com, my favorite registrar and name service provider, offers something called a “URL Redirect (301)” in their external DNS manager which is a brilliant use of a DNS name that resolves to one of their own web servers that then bounces you to the real URL you’re looking for. It’s great, but I needed the same thing for Internal DNS…and it turns out this is really easy to do.
