A URL also includes at least a service (telnet, http, ftp). To set domain names, you need to frob your DNS configuration. I'm guessing that you're not running your own DNS, so you'll have to find who is. For example, for your mail domain, you would say $ whois twu.edu Registrant: Texas Woman's University (TWU-DOM) P.O.

Or, to redirect a server to another URL. How might this be done? I'm not really sure what you mean by this question. Can you expand?
