Equivalent of hosts file in proper DNS server in Windows Server 2008R2 [closed]

Question

In my hosts file %systemroot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts I can have entries portfolio.local 192.168.4.175

Is it possible to have idrac.example.com point to an internal ip but have it on the server 2008 r2 box doing our routing so it's network wide

Answer 1

Yes with a DNS server.

You create a DNS A record pointing to the correct IP, and its done network wide.
