Hi pvong

As far as I know you can if you know the IP address of
https://srv.domain.com.

Simply create a new zone in the DNS called (using your example above)
domian.com

Then create a New Host (A) record and name it 'home' so the FQDN becomes
home.domain.com.

Now add the IP address of https://srv.domain.com.

Now when a user types in http://home.domain.com they will be redirected to
https://srv.domain.com.

There may be another way but that's how I do it.

Not in DNS. DNS just resolves an IP address.
You can do this in IIS, by setting a redirection in the site that is Home to
the site that is SRV
