We are implementing Customer Portal and would like to use a custom URL to access the portal in order to keep with our own corporate branding. For example, we would like Customers to be able to go to portal.mydomain.com in order to access our Customer Portal. I don't want just a redirection to take place, but a complete masking of the standard portal URL. Do I just need to register a CNAME with a 3rd party and point it to the standard portal URL? Does this require the use of Force.com Sites?
thanks!

Force.com Sites provides the option to fully brand the URL for http access but not for https. Therefore, public pages can be fully branded while authenticated (Customer Portal) pages can be partially branded via a force.com domain (for example https://mycompany.secure.force.com) or by using the my domain feature with Sites and the Customer Portal. Please see the links CSMer posted.
If you aren't familiar with Sites and integration with Customer Portal this is a good place to start with quality examples: http://developer.force.com/sites
Another option is to iframe the portal if you are using the portal to source a subset of processes on your corporate website.
