We have an application that monitors the temperature of our server room.
This app runs on one of our servers and we can manage it through a website.
The default site is http://10.10.30.130:1024/Master.html. Is there a way to
create a DNS record to point to this address. I was just going to call it
something like temperature.domainname.com but when I look at Host and CName
records it doesn't look like you can do it.

It it running on IIS server or some third party software?

If it is running IIS you just need to add header let say
temperature.domain.local or temperature.domain.com and then add a record to
your DNS server for zone domain.local or domain.com I suggest to use HOST -
A record.

But you will probably be forced to access it by:
http://temperature.domain.local:1024/Master.html

If you use IIS you can do another website (just redirection) and then
redirect header temperature.domain.local or temperature.domain.com to
http://10.10.30.130:1024/Master.html you can do this... First answer what
kind of web server do you run for displaying this thing...

Thanks for the reply Luka. I should have mentioned that I checked IIS but
wasn't able to get very far. It looks like there's a built-in web server
that the app uses instead.

There is no problem as it is not using port 80 but 1024.
If you have the option to install IIS on your server or workstation do so.
After IIS installed create a temp folder in your IIS root folder let say
folder named "redirection".

Then create a new web site name it for example temperature.domain.local or
temperature.domain.com and after you do that you check the Home Directory
snap and there you configure A redirection to a URL and set redirect to:
http://10.10.30.130:1024/Master.html
And check the: The exact URL entered above and A permarent redirection for
this resource.

In your local DNS create a host - A record called temperature.domain.local
or temperature.com afterthat it should work!

Tell us about your results!
