Hi,

We have an intranet which we want to make an extranet. (Running on a windows
2000 server, iis 6.0)

The problems lies in the fact that some url's are different for external
access.

For example the email button's url internally is http://studentmail but
externally it is http://studentmail.businessx.co.uk (this address doesn't
work inside the business only outside)

How do I have the one url but works both inside and outside?

Regards,

Stu340

I assume the mail server is local?
You can create a new forward lookup zone named 'studentmail.businessx.co.uk'
in the local DNS, then add a new host without a host name, and give it the
local IP address. this will work fine so long as the same DNS server is not
used for the internal domain and for the public domain.
