Can't access web site within LAN

[GD]

Hi,
Windows 2000 server with DNS, no "." in forward lookup
zone.
Our web site is hosted outside "www.domain.com"
From inside the LAN you can't hit that but you can using
the external IP. Added a new host record to DNS for "www"
and pointed to external IP - didn't work.
Any help?

Try this method: In your local forward lookup zone for domain.com create a
new Delegation named "www" and point it to the Public Authoritative DNS
servers, You must use the authoritative not just an external DNS.
Run ipconfig /flushdns
