by passing internet to access local web server

[James]

Hi,

i have a local dns and web server. i have a 3rd party vhost with a
subdomain that routes to my local web server. how can i change my local dns
server so that if someone on the internal network visit the internal web
server, it doesn't go out to the internet and then come back in again?

By Creating zones on the local DNS that need to resolve to the local IP, for
example, if you host www.example.com on the local web server you can just
create a zone named www.example.com then create a new host in the zone,
leave the name field blank and give it the IP of the local web server.
