Hello,

we have internal team sites based on SP2010. Now we already have 5 AAM mapping entries tied with each zone. So question is can I add one more entry to AAM? If yes then I have to used the one of the zone which alreayd used. Will that be ok?

Please help!

Thanks,

Hi,

For SharePoint Alternate Access Mapping,you  need to understand the following basics:

Internal URL redirects or transforms to a Public URL, from left, to right. The URL on the left, is what you enter in the address field in your browser, the Public URL on the right is what you will see once there, this goes for visible and invisible links as well.
Internal URL format: Protocol + URL (+non default port)

Public URL is the address of the Web Application for one of the five zones available. The Default must be filled out and has some special properties/uses, the other four are optional. You can only have five Public URLs per Web Application.
This is the URL that the browser will be redirected to in the end.
Public URL format: Protocol + URL (+non default port)

Zone is a label representing a Public URL, the zone is used to connect an Internal URL to a Public URL.

Multiple internal URLs can be associated with a single public URL. Mapping collections can contain up to five authentication zones. But each zone can have only a single public URL.

So you can add multiple internal URLs mapping one zone.
