I've a server that has DNS and AD company.int, we have a server that is public
I can reach it from anywhere, accept my internal lan.

How can I do it that everyone on the internal lan can see our own site.
 
You need to forward your internal DNS servers to use ISP DNS servers for forward lookups.

1) Delete your "." root DNS zone on your DNS servers
2) Right Click your DNS server in DNS manager. Then click Properties. Click the DNS Forwarders tab. Forward to your ISP provided DNS servers.
3) Wait 5 minutes (for replication to other internal DC's)
4) try to resolve the web site again.


Or you can add a new forward lookup zone called "Company.com" Then create an A record for IP address. Then try to connect to the web site.

Why our web site doesn't work internally

Q: Everyone can access our web site on the Internet. But no one can access the web site internally. Instead, we are point to our Intranet.

A: If you network domain name is the same of your web site name, you should point the web to the web public IP. To do this, open DNS manager and create a host. for example ip.

Our webserver is in our own lan for the record not with the isp.
 
Can you ping the webserver or resolve by ip address? Does you webserver have 2 interfaces?
