IIS and DNS

[Tyras]

I have a most likely very simple question about setting up DNS to work properly with my self hosted site.

My setup
-I have a registrar whom I purchased a domain from. The DNS settings currently have an A, and an MX record pointing to my IP address.
-My router forwards port 80 to the server running IIS which is also a backup DC. I also have another server running AD and DNS. This server has a forward lookup zone created for example.com. The records here are a CNAME record created for

http://www.example.com

to points to the name of the IIS server (IIS.ADdomain.local)
-IIS is set up with a site of the same name. The host header values to read is both

http://www.example.com

and example.com on port 80.

My problem
My site will not access when you try to browse to it using

http://www.example.com

but only when just typing example.com

If

http://www is

considered a subdomain, do I need to create a record with my registrar pointing

http://www to

my IP address?
How do I get this to work properly?

Thanks in advance for any help at all with this
