Let's say I have a site called test.website.com that I'd like to forward to www.website.com/test.

How can I achieve this via Windows Server 2008 DNS?

I've configured this for external users via GoDaddy Subdomain Forwarding but I can't seem to figure out how to do this internally via Windows DNS.

I tried setting up a CName to do this and although it will redirect pings to the desired URL, it doesn't seem to work for the website itself.

This seems like something basic but I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks for any help in advance.

You cannot. A DNS server doesn't have this feature.

Sites like Godaddy set a DNS record to point at an HTTP(S) server which send out the proper redirects.
