We have a native mode active directory setup. Our sister company has a web site www.sisterco.com and I can ping it just fine. Now we have a fixed VPN to them and they have an intranet web page it.sisterco.com. When a user goes to www.sisterco.com I want their DNS request to come back with teh public address, but when a user goes to it.sisterco.com I want the user to go to the private IP on their web server which is 172.16....

How do I put this entry just for it.sisterco.com in my w2k DNS server so it resolves properly. Today, users are having to type in the IP address in the browser

Use the DNS console to open the forward lookup zone for sisterco.com, in
that zone create a new host named "it" give it IP 172.16....

Create a forward lookup zone named "it.sisterco.com" then create a blank
record with the IP of the intranet website.
That will stop the conflicting namespace, otherwise you have to mirror every
missing record.
