How do I add host name embedded

[FishKiller]

I am tring to allow users the ability to access a user portal via public ip address. I then want them redirected to the same ip however I need the ip "198.172.66.229" to be replaced with server name "X-A".

step 1: "http:198.172.66.229\portal"
step 2: new automatic redirect or something that defines what X-A is. I added the ip manually to my hosts file and it works by name (duhhh) how if possible can I achieve this so users can access or get redirected without touching their hosts file.

Without this the server will not allow the application which has the "server name hard coded". I get a SOAP error.

Any suggestions would help. I am not listing which language I use since I am not even sure what to do.

You need a domain name alias pointing to it from a DNS server.
