Les,

In the Commerce Manager there is a setting for the host name.  Open up
the manager and go to the following position in the tree:

Console Root -> Commerce Server Manager -> Commerce Sites -> [sitename]
-> Applications ->[machinename]/[the non-bizdesk entry]

Right-click on it and open the properties.

Set the nonsecure host name to the IP or whatever DNS entry you've made
for the machine.

That's it.

There is code in the International Retail Site to redirect all requests
to anything other than the host in this property to this host name.
