Our users use webmail externally which works fine. However I need to setup a DNS entry on our server so that when they try to access webmail internally then they get the internal address, as opposed to being given the external address.

For example if they want:

webmail.domainname.com then they will be given 192.168.5.253

If they type in anything else associated with domainname.com, for example:

then they will consult external DNS servers.

We are using SBS 2003.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Dan
 
Setup an A record for the internal name:

webmail.domainname.com -> 192.168.5.253

if webmail.domainname.com points to an external IP already, create a new A record:

webmailint.domainname.com -> 192.168.5.253

one way anyhow....

Also show us ipconfig and what the zone looks like
