host header : dns

On the intranet, I can access a website like so:
http://machineName/default.aspx

In my DNS, I have a record:
machineName A 192.168.1.1

I'd like to access the same website like so:
http://newName/default.aspx

To that effect, I created a host header in the IIS and another DNS record:
newName A 192.168.1.1

I can't access the "newName" website from workstations.

What am I missing?

Thank you.

Instead of creating a second A record, try creating an alias
newName CNAME machineName
