Redirecting dns ip to url locally

Question

So I have this ip http://172.20.1.96:8080. I would like to redirect it to something like http://mywebsite.corp.com. I think I changed all the configurations that need to be changed, but I can only get into the website by typing 172.20.1.96:8080, but gets an error saying that its site can't be reached when typed in mywebsite.corp.com. I also mapped IP/hostname in the router.

P.S. I am trying to get it to work internally, no need to make it externally. I can also ping its ip from other server that is in same network, but not by its domain :(

I would really appreciated if someone could help! Thank you!

cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
172.20.1.96     mywebsite.corp.com

---

hostname
mywebsite

---

cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 172.20.1.1
search localhost
search mywebsite.corp.com

Solution

If from other server on that network, if is linux os command is host mywebsite.corp.com 172.20.1.1, I guess that is 172.20.1.1 your DNS server, you can not resolve logical name to ip address, problem is on record on dns server.

On DNS server you must have record, mywebsite.corp.com A 172.20.1.96.

What is you dns server? Problem is on record on dns server. On DNS server you must have record, mywebsite.corp.com A 172.20.1.96. Give me output from "other server" on that network, if is linux os host mywebsite.corp.com 172.20.1.1 I guess that is 172.20.1.1 your DNS server.
