domain name

[Guest]

The domain that was setup in my office for the server is
the same as the domain name for our website that is
running on a server on the net. I am able to access the
web site from outside of the office but not when I am in
my office. There appears to be a conflict with the name
being the same
Any suggestions

I tried to add a A record to the forwarding zone for www but it did not work and i am not sure of what i am doing

is your internet domain name a www ?
if so can you access your web site from www.domainname ?

OK, 2 posts below, subject is 'domain'. Here's the answer from William and
this is what you need to do.

Add an A record to the internal zone, but use the *public IP. Example
www.mysite.com A 4.2.2.3

Now you should be able to browse to the site.

Add the record named www give it the IP of the website, then run ipconfig
/flushdns to remove any cached negative entries for the name.
