Hi
I have a 2k3 DC with domain name abc.net. The website for this domain

http://www.abc.net

is hosted on an outside company.

Clients inside my network can NOT access

http://www.abc.net

What sort of a record should add to the 2k3 DNS in order to redirect them to the outside server??

I have tried a PTR however it did not work....

Thanks for any help.

The DNS suffix is owned by your DNS server so it will not forward it. it will just give you an error.

Setup a Host{A} record for

http://WWW to

point to the external IP, the webserver might need to be configured with the correct host header to work.

If you don't have many clients, try a hosts file on the clients.

Does Windows DNS support views? If you were using BIND then you could create an internal view which would resolve names to internal IP addresses and a 'world' view that everyone else would see which would resolve to the 'live' addresses. I don't know how Windows DNS handles this?

Faithless is correct.

I just had this exact problem on my new network last week.

Add a 'www' host record on the internal DNS server, pointing to your external website.

Thanks everyone.

I have added the

http://www record

and it works.

Thanks again.
