It would be something you can do in DNS by creating an Alias. However,
it may be easier to just add the entry in the HOSTS file on the
machine in question.

You may want to do it in each. Set up a DNS record for the hostname
"it" in the same DNS domain as the client machine. Then create a
website in IIS that responds to host headers for "it" and have the
page redirect to the page you are trying to reach.
