Hi,

I have IIS hosting services locally on the same external IP as my LANs
external. The domain name pointing to this IP consists of:

<subdomain.domain.com>

External users are directed to the site, internal users must enter the
server IP i.e if the use the domain name they get the router http admin
screen.

How to I use my DNS service on my DC to create/amend a record to point
<subdomain.domain.com> to an internal IP.

I tried to create a new DOMAIN and new HOST (using the other record option)
but i cant use the syntax <subdomain.domain.com> i.e it does not lole the
DOT.

Thanks for any pointers.
Scott.

You can use a host named "subdomain" in the "domain.com" Forward lookup zone
with the private IP of the web server.
or
Create a new domain named "subdomain" in the "domain.com" FLZ then in that
subdomain create a new host, leave the name field blank and give it the
private IP of the web server. (It will bark at you and say (same as parent
folder) is not a valid host name, click OK to create the record anyway.

Just add the record if the 'subdomain' above is a machine name (technically
in
DNS a machine name is a DOMAIN name but almost no one still uses the
terminology in this formally correct way.)

If the Subdomain is a real CHILD zone, then you must do one of the
following:

1) Add the entire subdomain zone internally (i.e., shadow it)
2) Add glue records internally that point to the child zone DNS servers

For a Machine name (not a subdomain in common language) just add the record.

For a subdomain:
Select the parent domain, Right click and create either a "new domain"
For a delegation, right click and create a "new delegation."
