Default DNS configuration question



Could someone explain me what needs to be done in the dns configuration when
the following is setup and configured.



A company ABC Inc owns a domain abcinc.com and hosts its web site at a third
party company, however the exchange is hosted in house. When Active
Directory was configured on the domain controller. abcinc.com was specified
as the Primary Dns Suffix. Now every computer on the LAN gets redirected to
the Domain Controller when users type abcinc.com in their browser. Any user
outside of the lan can get to abcinc.com with no problems.


Thanks




Gene B.

Default Re: DNS configuration question

Add an A record of www and point to the correct IP address. The users will
have to put in the URL http://www.abcinc.com, not http://abcinc.com This is
a good example of why not to put your internet domain name as your AD domain
name :-)
