After setting up host headers in IIS6 what additional settings need to be
made in a DNS and a client browser to use the host headers?

You have to setup all your A records in DNS. There is nothing to be done in the client's browser. doug >-----Original Message----- >After setting up host headers in IIS6 what additional settings need to be >made in a DNS and a client browser to use the host headers? > > >. ><!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: IIS6 and host headers

Is there a tool that check what request is being made from the client? As going to ahostheader.mydomain.com is going to the default web site instead of the web site with the host header.

Are you saying that if the client types ahostheader.mydomain.com, he/she gets to the default website anyway? If so, host headers are not correct configured on the server. -- Regards, Kristofer Gafvert - IIS MVP <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.ilopia.com" target="_blank">http://www.ilopia.com</a> - When you need help!

That is what is happening. To test it I created a basic HTML file in each of the three areas and made it the default page.
