THis is an odd one, but I am sure it might be possible.

I have a web interface on a server:
http:\\server
I dont want users to see this page, but I want them to see a page below it
http:\\server\ui

How can I create a DNS record (I was going to use VMVC, since its for virtual center) to point to the 2nd option, rather than the first option. Is that even possible??

Thanks in advance.
 
DNS doesn't deal with the URL path, only the IP that is assigned to the name "server". This is more a function of the web server.

Running apache?
If you don't have any other content on the web server NOT in /ui, I would just change the DocumentRoot. If you are hosting other things, then I would use Named Based Virtual hosting.
 
Thats what I had thought. Thanks a bunch for the clarification.
