Windows DNS Server question Hi all,
I've got a problem that hopefully has an easy solution - but I'm a DNS noob :-)
- We're running a Windows Server 2003/Active Directory domain with the suffix marymead.org.au
- Our website is www.marymead.org.au. The website is hosted by an ISP at another location to us.
- Users can access internet, email etc. fine
- Users outside of our domain can access the website fine
The problem is, that users aren't able to access our website from within our domain. I think this is because the Windows DNS server is looking for www.marymead.org.au locally and returning a "Server Not Found" page in the browser.
How would I go about fixing this? Do I need to create a DNS forwarder or a DNS record of some kind...?
Detailed instructions or redirection to detailed instructions would be appreciated if possible...
Thanks in advance,
- Marymead IT

Create a new A record (www) and give it the IP of the webserver, and create a pointer record and it should resolve fine. You might have to force a dns flush on the clients to see f it works right away.
If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked.

yeah, TheOgre is totally right. I had the same problem a couple of years ago and it was readily resolved in the same fashion. only problem being - internal users could not resolve the website unless they actually typed "www."
