Alternate access settings provide a mechanism for server farm administrators to identify the different ways in which users access portal sites, ensuring that URLs are displayed appropriately for the manner in which the user accesses the portal site.
1. Administrators often deploy portal sites that users can access by using different URLs. It is important that functionality, such as search results for portal site and document library (Web Storage System-based) content, be appropriate for the URL that was used to access the portal site. External URLs must be provided to the user in a form that is appropriate for how the user is currently accessing the portal site.
2. Without alternate access settings, search results might be displayed in a way that would make them inaccessible to users. Users might receive search results that they cannot access whenever they access the portal site by using a URL that is different from the original URL used for crawling the content.

4. Change the URL you see to http://XXX.net:8585/.
5. Click OK.
6. Go to ISSAdmin (inetmgr).
7. Right Click on Portal name ->right click -> properties -> Advanced.
8. Click on default -> Edit.
9. Change the host header to "Dev04.blr.axiomsources.net".
