Create a computer name and route it to another computer

I'm using Windows Server 2003, and we switched our domain name because the name of our company changed. We have some records in a database that reference the old fileserver(\\OldFileServer\Document) and I am not keen on going in and changing all those records to the new fileserver. These records point to files that can be opened from within the database. I want to make it so that when someone types in \\OldFileServer, they are routed to the new domain \\NewFileServer.

I have tried creating an entry in the DNS, but that doesn't seem to work for the \\ syntax. It works for HTTP://OldFileServer, but that is not what I need it for. Does anyone know how I can make it so when a person types in \\OldComputer, it routes to \\NewComputer?


The DNS entry I created was a Host(A) entry with the old server's name and the IP is the new file server's IP.

Thanks
