DNS or Hosts?

[gstar1703]

Hi,
I run DNS on our 2003 server which processes requests fine for internal names. However I have a DMZ with a Webserver which does not belong to the domain but I need internal users to access without going out onto the internet.

If I add a hosts file to Xp machines it works OK, but I think there should be a better way to do this in DNS...Am I wrong?

To recap, if a user hits

http://mypublicdomain.co.uk

thet are routed to external DNS servers who then point them back to my DMZ..In 2003 DNS how can I route traffic for this URL to the DMZ?
Thanx

Just manually add an A record in DNS on your server.

ex.

http://www.whatever.com

10.0.0.1 (IP address of the webserver on your DMZ)

Note: make sure your firewall rules will allow your LAN to communicate with your DMZ.
