Sharepoint 2010 Site collection url

Question

We have created the following sharepoint 2010 site collection using an internal url.

http://pdc.wlroot.companyname.com/sites/Extranet

How would i map a url another domain http://extranet.companyname.com to this?

OR

I think it would be easier to change the site collection url from /sites/Extranet to / -How would I do this?

thanks in advance, Jason
