I too would like to setup my default DNN portal (created as a virtual dir named DotNetNuke in the folder c:\dotnetnuke) so that our intranet users can browse to intranet.mydomain.com.  I've added the alias to the portal's site settings list of aliases, and I followed MS article (190008) referenced above.  Browsing to intranet.mydomain.com brings up the under construction page, not the desired DNN page localhost/dotnetnuke.  Microsoft's article talks about adding the host header nanes at the default web site properties level, not at the virtual dir level (as far as I can tell, there is no option to set a host header name on a virtual dir).  I've tried just plain old intranet, intranet.mydomain.com, and intranet.mydomain.com/dotnetnuke as host header name entries.  All three take me to the under construction page, not the desired virtual dir page localhost/dotnetnuke.  Did I miss a step or two?

For you to access your site at intranet.mydomain.com several things have to happen.  First, your DNS has to have the intranet hostname in the mydomain.com domain pointed to the IP address of your DNN server.  Second, IIS has to be set to use the home directory of where your DNN installation is installed and DNN has to be installed at the root of that directory tree, not in a dotnetnuke subfolder or virtual directory.  Fortunately, this is all easy.  Once you have the DNS resolving to the correct IP address, create a new web site with the home directory of c:\dotnetnuke.  Copy the DNN  installation files to that directory.  Edit the web.config as needed for your database connection.  Then browse to http://intranet.mydomain.com/ and start your installation.  DNN will take care of the correct alias.

Forget installing by browsing to localhost as the instructions suggest and forget placing your install files in a dotnetnuke subdirectory and everything elose is fine.  :)
