We have a server in our environment called WEB1. There is a website running on this server. It is also hosting a file share called SHARE. By creating a couple of quick CNAME records inside DNS, we are able to give users the ability to use some intuitive names to access these resources. By following the preceding instructions, we have masked the actual server name from the users, making knowledge of that name unnecessary. Masking internal hostnames of servers is also considered a security best practice in many organizations.
