I have sucessfully setup DNS on our 2 servers. Our
website, hosted on the outside, is named hardwirellc.com,
and is the same as our internal domain. I have set up a
forwarder to used the DNS server for our Internet
provider. The clients point to the internal DNS server.
However, since the name of our website is the same as our
domain any requests from the inside to view our outside
website do not work. Workarounds??

It is pretty easy to do as long as you will access the site by a www and the
domain (www.hardwirellc.com) Oh and thanks for including the name that helps
a lot on this one. You need a CNAME (alias) because that is how your
provider has done it. Look below.

In the DNS console open your Forward Lookup Zone anmed hardwirellc.com right
click in the zone select new "alias" in the dialog that comes up type: www
in the name field, in the FQDN field you must have this:
geo.premiumservices.yahoo.com. including the trailing "."
then create.
You may have to run ipconfig /flushdns on you machines because negative
answers are cached.

That one should have worked, I'm sorry point the alias to this:
premium.geo.yahoo.akadns.net
Which resolves to eight IP addresses: Look on down I'll explain
> www.hardwirellc.com
Server: kjweb.lsaol.com
Address: 192.168.0.2

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: premium.geo.yahoo.akadns.net
Addresses: 66.218.79.173, 66.218.79.179, 66.218.79.189, 66.218.79.180
66.218.79.183, 66.218.79.188, 66.218.79.175, 66.218.79.181
Aliases: www.hardwirellc.com, geo.premiumservices.yahoo.com


Once again, you have a forward lookup zone named "hardwirellc.com" open that
zone, new alias name it www in the FQDN field put
premium.geo.yahoo.akadns.net.

try this use nslookup resolve premium.geo.yahoo.akadns.net see if it does
not come up with these addresses.

If hardwirellc.com is your AD name you won't be able to access by that name
because that name will point to your domain controller's IP address, and it
must stay that way.

Here is how your name resolves.
> www.hardwirellc.com
Server: kjweb.lsaol.com
Address: 192.168.0.2

Non-authoritative answer:
www.hardwirellc.com canonical name =
geo.premiumservices.yahoo.com<--------your name points here
> geo.premiumservices.yahoo.com
Server: kjweb.lsaol.com
Address: 192.168.0.2

Non-authoritative answer:
geo.premiumservices.yahoo.com canonical name =
premium.geo.yahoo.akadns.net<------that name points here
> premium.geo.yahoo.akadns.net.
Server: kjweb.lsaol.com
Address: 192.168.0.2

Name: premium.geo.yahoo.akadns.net<-----this name goes to these IP
addresses.
Addresses: 66.218.79.180, 66.218.79.174, 66.218.79.182, 66.218.79.184
66.218.79.177, 66.218.79.173, 66.218.79.178, 66.218.79.185
