Shorten Long DNS names
- by user32425
Hi,
Amazon gives us a very long dns names i.e. c-123-123-123-255.compute-1.amazonaws.com
Is there a way to map this name into a shorter name
i.e. essentially what i want to do is to modify /etc/hosts file,
and map the long name into a short one, i.e.
aws1 c-123-123-123-255.compute-1.amazonaws.com
but because /etc/hosts file only accepts ip address mapping, then I cannot do that.
Is there any other way to do this?
Thanks
