Hello everyone - I've been reading the list emails for a month now,
in the hopes of learning more, but haven't really had any issues
that I needed help with until now, so here we go...
I host DNS for my domain internally, as I have a number of sub-
domains that I use (mail.myhost.com, helpdesk.myhost.com, etc) that
are visible both inside and outside of my network. However, our
company website, 'www.mydomain.com' is hosted externally, and my
internal DNS record for it is an external IP address.
Using a computer outside of my network, entering 'http://
mydomain.com' in a browser WITHOUT the 'www' redirects to
'www.mydomain.com', but internally 'http://mydomain.com' just gives
a "can't connect to http://mydomain.com"; error.
The guy who does the website for my company wants to be able to get
to www.mydomain.com without having to put the 'www' on addresses
(as he is using an authoring program that expects a web address w/o
a 'www' on the front of it to automatically redirect there), and
I'd like to see if I can make that happen for him.
What kind of lame program is that? What if he was trying to author
helpdesk.myhost.com?
Is there a fairly easy workaround for this problem? I can't seem to
wrap my head around this internal-to-external problem, even though
it seems that it should be logically pretty simple.
Server running DNS is a PPC XServe, running 10.4.10 (is also OD
Master and serving DHCP for my network) - any other details needed
here?
Thanks in advance for any help.
