Connect Public IPs to Private IP

I have a web server(providing services) which is placed in the private
network.

If there is a company with IP address like www.company.com

They want to view the webpages in my web server
The basic method is access through http://www.mydomain.com/webpages,
Right?

But my problem is
Is there any methods they can access the webpages through
http://www.company.com/webpages instead of http://www.mydomain.com/webpages?
I don't want to see my domain name in the URL.


Thanks in advanced.

That's not an IP address - company.com is a domain name.

Not necessarily.

I'm not quite sure how you've set up your server or public DNS....

Well, one thing to mention - hosting a public website on your LAN is not a
good idea from a security standpoint. An account with a dedicated webhosting
center is generally inexpensive enough nowadays, and will give you much
better reliability as well as keeping unwanted visitors out of your LAN.

That said, if you have a registered domain name (company.com) and want
www.company.com to point to your server, you have to create www as a host in
the zone files of company.com (public DNS) and point it at your public IP.
And then you have to allow port 80 inbound to the private IP of your
webserver.

If your network design has been properly handled so that the server can be
reached correctly by the people who are supposed to access it and that
Domain Registration and DNS resolution (possibly including Split-DNS) has
been properly handled,...then "Right".

Domain Registration and DNS resolution (possibly including Split-DNS) has to
be properly handled. There is no way to know if you have done that from
where we are sitting. It also depends on where the "they" are physically
located and where the target server is physically located as to how the DNS
is handled.
