newbie question

How can I setup an alias in my dns for my end users. I want them to be able
to type intranet and it goes to our intranet site. I see that I can add an
alias(cname) in the dns, but I'm not sure what to add for the fully
qualified domain name for target host (?). I have tried everything that I
can think of. My FQDN is boomer.local

Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

You can also create a A record (say intranet) on your DNS Server

If you create the record under XYZ zone then users can reach the host by
simply typing http://intranet.XYZ

If XYZ happens to be your default domain name it is all the more good, user
can simply type http://intranet

OK, I did add an A record called intranet. Do I need to update the
associated pointer record? I did create the A record under my default
domain, but when I try to ping intranet from a client machine it tells me it
could not find the host. When I try and ping from the server it works
without problems. Again thanks for any help that you can provide.

Trying pinging intranet.xyz ( i.e using the dns suffix).
Further PTR records are not a must for internal use.
