Inhouse and external domain

[Tim]

Hello,

A paticular domain that I have is on a server in house with
subsite.domain.com. The main domain.com is hosted elsewhere. In order to
access the subsite.domain.com I need to setup a domain in windows DNS. When
I do this I can no longer access the domain.com outside the company. If I
setup the domain.com in my windows DNS, how can I get it to point outside
the company?

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand. If your internal DNS name is subsite.domain.com,
and that's all your internal DNS server is configured to handle, any
requests for domain.com ought to be going out to the Internet anyway - your
internal DNS server's forwarders to your ISP's DNS servers, or use of root
hints, should take care of it. You don't need to add domain.com to your
internal DNS server in this case. And, requests for subsite.domain.com
should be automatically handled by your internal DNS server already.

If this isn't correct, please post back with more detail.

Don't create a zone named domain.com, you would create a zone named
subsite.domain.com, then create your records in that zone. If you ask how to
resolve subsite.domain.com to an IP address, it is done by creating an "A"
host record, (Not and Alias) and leave the name field blank and give it the
IP you need subsite.domain.com to resolve to.
