Hi,
Is there a way of setting up so I have a subdomain of my website to point to another website (controlled by somebody else). I have already setup the cname for the alias and from outside, it works. subdomain.hostone.com --> subdomain.hosttwo.com
The problem is when I'm within the network it doesn't work. The SME does the DNS. How to I add the cname to the internal DNS?
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Enter the hostname with external IP address via the Hostnames and Addresses panel.

Thank you, but I can't enter an IP address.
It's smugmug.com, they are on the akamai network. There are dozens of IP addresses from akamai. Here are just a few:
Query for syv.smugmug.com type=255 class=1
syv.smugmug.com CNAME (Canonical Name) www.smugmug.com.edgesuite.net
Dig syv.smugmug.com@usc1.akam.net (64.208.249.147) ...

Dig syv.smugmug.com@ns1-154.akam.net (193.108.91.154) ...
These IPs do not point to the subdomain, but are proxies for smugmug.com and internally they do the redirection. If I could just create a CNAME in SME, I'd be done.

I do this now by setting the subdomain at my registrar.
