DNS Configure

[I]

Hi,

I have a website hosted on my DMZ. When the guys on the LAN go to access
the website, they type in the hostname as configured in my DNS and host
headers as mydomin, however they are unable to access the secure part of the
site as this requires www.mydomain.com. Is there anyway to setup the DNS to
allow the internal guys to access the site when they type www.mydomin.com
??? I can get around this by using host files but I don't want to deploy
them to all the machines!

TIA.

You mean you have it configured to access from the LAN by typing in:
http://mydomain ?

And you want to access it by typing in:
https://www.mydomain.com ??

First, create a www record under you mydomain.com zone and give it the
internal IP address.
Create the additional hostheader by adding www.mydomain.com to the list.
Then configure it to only allow a secure connection (assuming you have the
certificate already installed).
