Named instance question

Can instance names be aliased back to the the default instance? ie can
server/instancename resolve back to servername/? We are looking to migrate
over from using a named instance, to a default instance, but don't want to
have to go change all of the connection strings in many applications, to
that have named instances attached.
If so, can someone point me in the direction to do so?Only from the clients connecting to it. You can install MDAC 2.6 or later
and use the alias.
