DNS

[chris]

Hi All,
Here's the situation, my client has a windows 2000 domain
and a website which is hosted from an outside vendor. The
website is viewable from outside the network but not from
any clients inside the domain. The domain is on one win2k
box which has sp3 installed. Clients recieve ip addresses
via DHCP server which on the same box. Machines are hooked
up to a netgear switch which is uplinked to a firewall also
(netgear) which goes out over a T1 connection. The DNS
server is set to forward non-local dns queries to isp dns
servers. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If your internal domain is the same as your external DNS does not know to
forward the request for www. You need a host named www in your internal DNS
forward lookup zone that has the IP of the web site.

Does the AD domain name match that of the domain that is registered for the website? If so, you will need to create a record on
your local DNS server for this website. For instance, if the domain is mydomain.com, create a host record named "www" inside
the mydomain.com zone on your internal DNS server that points to the public IP address of the website.

Thank you,
