I have an internal domain, mydomain.local and an external domain,
mydomain.com

mydomain.local uses active directory DNS where as mydomain.com is hosted
with our ISP.

Now, the website for mydomain.com is hosted on a server within
mydomain.local but from any PC/Server within that domain I can't access
www.mydomain.com.

Make sense? Any ideas?

Click to expand...

Create a new forward lookup zone named www.mydomain.com, in that zone create
a new host, leave the name field blank, give it the IP address of the
Webserver, click create.
Win2k barks at you saying "(same as parent folder) is not a valid host name"
Click OK to create the record anyway.
After you create this zone and record you'll have to run ipconfig /flushdns
to clear the incorrect record out of the client DNS Cache.
Now www.mydomain.com will resolve locally the rest in mydomain.com will
still be forwarded.
