Problems with website access with a domain ending with .com

I have a Windows 2003 Server that was setup before I got involved, at one
point they were hosting their own website. The issue that I have now is that
the domain is setup with a .com after the domain name instead of the .local,
so when I try to access the website, which is now being hosted by godaddy, I
can't get to it in the office. The site is setup on a web hosting server
that has a dynamic address, but for now I paid for a static ip for 2 months
because of other circumstances. The only way I have gotten it to work is
that I had to make an A record in the servers DNS pointing www.mydomain.com
to the static address. My issue is after the static number goes a way I will
lose access to the website in the office. I either have to find a way to
route the dns to connect to the dynamic website or there is a setting I'm
missing. Already cleared the DNS cache, removed the A record in hopes of
having the external DNS pickup my website but nothing seems to work other
than the A record in my office's DNS. Thanks Ryan.

For web site, I would not use dynamic IP.
