5518.0. "Telnet Alias for single VAX Host?" by DEBUG::GALLO (Fast/Good & Cheap - Whatever it Takes!) Fri May 16 1997 00:18

    Perhaps this is simple to do, but I've missed it...
    
    I have a single VAX system (nodename is DEBUG) running OpenVMS 5.5-2 
    and DEC TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS VAX Varsion 3.1 - ECO Level 3 (UCX).
    
    I want to be able to allow users using KEA! on their PC's to Telnet into 
    this VAX using a host name of either DEBUG or ZIPUM.  
    
    I have tried defining alias's but nothing seems to work.
    Suggestions with exact syntax would be appreciated.   Thanks.  Paul

There are two ways to do what you seem to want.  One is to define zipum
as a CNAME for debug in the DNS database for whomever is providing name
service.  This means that all references to zipum will be converted to
references to debug when the client attempts to look up the name.

Alternatively, if zipum is defined as a regular DNS entry with its own
A record, you can set UCX, via set interface [whatever] /c_addr= so that
debug also responds to references to zipum's IP address.
