How do you "alias" a URL in Drupal?

I am trying to "alias" a URL within Drupal to point to another within my site (i.e. http://site.com/node/1234 needs to point to http://site.com/forum)

You can do it through your host where you registered the domain name. They will give you access to alias the URL through the domain manager. Many hosts will have different names for the Admin area where you can change the alias--for instance Go Daddy calls it the domain manager. Usually it will be an area separate from the normal CPanel.

Nobody yet? The alias that you are talking about it's called a "nice url" or a rewrite, because it uses htaccess and mod_rewrite to do it.

"The pathauto module is highly recommended. Pathauto will automatically make nice customized URLs based on things like title, taxonomy, content type, and username. You also have to enable the path module for pathauto to work."
