Pointing external domain to internal IP address

[KLewisBPM]

External to our network we type

https://email.mydomain.co.uk/exchange

and this gets us to our exchange mailbox. However internally we have to type either

https://exserver/exchange

or

https://172.20.250.13/exchange

How can I get internal PC's typing

https://email.mydomain.co.uk/exchange

to point to the internal address and not time out??

I am running a win 2000 SP4 domain with a DNS server.

Kind Regards

I can now get my DNS server to resolve

http://mydomain.co.uk

to the internally to the correct server however when trying to resolve

http://email.mydomain.co.uk

it is still trying to access externally.

do I need to add an entry for the email.mydom.....

Yes, you need to add an A record for host email and point it to the internal IP of the mail server.

Serbtastic is correct. Creating an A record in your DNS and point it to the internal IP will solve your problem.

Thanks for you assistance - Its a been a while since I have managed to look at this again.

Where do I create the 'A' record, and do I just call it email? or email.mydomain.co.uk ?
