URL rewriting and DNS translate

Question

Fellow sufferers!

I want to have human-understandable links into Sharepoint. My project is a few levels down into the SharePoint folders, so I want to be able to link like: HTK/Test/Testcases/Performancetest/Testreport.doc

(project name is HTK, then I have a folder Test and so on)

Is Sharepoint able to help me by understanding that "HTK" should be replaced by a path? I will probably have to involve our DNS server as well.

Please give me some ideas to proceed?

what you mean but remove the HTK to path...can you tell us what is current url and what you want after? — Waqas Sarwar MVP, Aug 22 '14 at 17:05
I want to use 'HTK' as the beginning of the URL because thats the project name. After that, I want to put the path under that project. — user3238187, Aug 22 '14 at 17:50

"Symmetrical" rewriting is supported - for example, rewriting...

mysite.com/subsite1/subsite2/page.aspx

to

mynewsite.com/subsite1/subsite2/pages.aspx

However, "assymetrical" rewriting is NOT supported - for example, rewriting

mysite.com/subsite1/subsite2/page.aspx

to

mynewsite.com/subsite2/pages.aspx

302 Redirects are always supported, but this is not rewriting the URL - it is actually sending the client to the "true" (and maybe unfriendly) URL. They can be effective for Vanity URLs though. – Hutch Aug 22 '14 at 18:17
