DNS and Intranet

[Guest]

I am having some problems configuring a new intranet site so that it can
actually be accessed from outside the host domain from of our other domains
and via the Internet. I am unsure exactly how to enter the new Intranet
server into the DNS. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Not sure what you mean, exactly. I presume you have your own internal DNS,
and someone else (ISP?) hosts DNS for your public domains.

Can you access your internal website from the LAN?

If you want it accessible from the Internet, whomever hosts your public DNS
needs to set up an A record that points at the public IP of your
server/router, etc. And then you need to open up port 80 in your
firewall/router to the private IP of the webserver. If you're using IIS,
make sure you run IISLockdown & URLScan....

Yes, we host our own internal DNS, but with one of the sites we are having
trouble accessing the internal website from inside the LAN? Someone entered
in a PTR for the server,should that have been a "A" record? I am not very
familiar with managing the DNS.
