DNS Forward Lookup Zone issue on internal web site

[wantagofast]

Hello everyone.

I'm running W2k on my DC and my web server. Two separate machines. DNS is working on the DC and I have no DNS issues yet. Our internal domain name is different from our public domain name.

What I would like to do is to view our public web site internally.

What I've done already is this: I added a forward lookup zone with our public domain name. I then added a host record with "www" and the ip address of the web server. Restarted DNS. Tried to connect to the web site using the URL and still can't view.

I can view the site by using the ip of the web server.

What am I missing? I'm not real strong on DNS so us small words with me.

Thanks you for your assistance.

Matt

If you do an nslookup on the URL internally, what IP address does it resolve to?

Chris, nslookup gives me the address of the web server. Anymore ideas or thoughts?

Thanks.
