Re: DNS "A Name" Records for Third Party Providers

["HALL, NATHANIEL D." <halln () OTC EDU>]

What about having a page with a URL that matches your institutions address (thirdparty.ohio.edu) and displays a page 
stating they are leaving your site and you are not responsible for anything that happens on the third-party site?  Then 
there is a "seamless" URL and you give users a fair warning that they are no longer accessing your system.

All,

We recently had a request for an "A name" record by a third party
provider that is looking for a "seamless" user experience.  We're a
little hesitant to give an ohio.edu name to an external party, and
wanted to find out about other user's experience.  Any caveats, lessons
learned, or experiences that we should watch out for?  Thanks!
