DNS lookup for web page 1

[MDJ52]

We recently changed from hosting our own web page to allowing an outside service to host it. People on the outside can get to the web page just fine. We on the inside of the network cannot. We at one time had a forward lookup defining company.com as a 'use parent record'. We have deleted that so that inside users are forced to the outside.
This did not work and all that comes up is either MSN or google searches for the company.com name.
We have turned off our web page server with the plan to phase it out. It is an older one that we have had for approx. 6 years. When we turn he internal site back on and redefine the forward lookup then people inside can get to the internal site rather than the one being hosted externally.
Any thoughts?

You need to add a new new host A record to your internal DNS server. Call the record

http://www and

use the ip of your new external web host. Should work fine after that.

Roadki11, thanks so much. Your recommendation worked like a champ. I checked and our old

http://WWW record

had been deleted. The recreate of the A record worked. I have submitted a star for you.
Thanks
