It also needs to replace URL

I don't want to have to keep typing the long URL in the browser. I just want to be able to type http://mfxptor.tor.ca which replaces the above. Can this be done?

How to define DNS i mean how add the entry in data file

I'm confused. Most browswers have bookmarks.

If you don't want to type the url, why not bookmark the url.

Maybe I'm missing an earlier thread here.

No, this can't be done via DNS. DNS is good for the host portion only. You can't set a DNS alias to host.domain.com/dir/dir/dir/file.

What could be done on the webserver itself is to have a page at something like

http://schedremote.tor.ca/ctx which would then automatically transfer them to http://schedremote.tor.ca/citrix/metaframexp/wie

This is more easily done via HTML and redirecting.

Now I get it. Thanks Patrick.

You can do this with a combination of the web server and dns.

Get the second domain name. Set up its zone file exactly the same as the longer name.

Then in httpd.conf apache, set up a Virtual Host that points to the same file locations as the original domain name.

See http://httpd.apache.org Virtual Host section. Choose apache server version based on which one you are using.
