DNS record configuration direction needed

I'd like to ask for some directions to configure DNS on a server that hosts a website.

Where do I make a DNS entry so that I can browse to a site hosted on a server that is in the same domain as the browser? For example, when I'm outside the domain I can browse to a site, but when I'm inside the domain, I can't browse to the https version of a site (but I can see the http version).

I've looked through the entries in DNS manager, but need to know the specific location to enter the site name and the associated ip.

Thanks that did it.
However, while the first https site loads without error, the second site gives an alert (see image). The odd thing is that both sites are built similarly, so there really shouldn't be any difference. Would you happen to know how to correct this?

Yes that is because there is some HTML Code in that particular page which for some reason isn't being delivered over HTTPS.

What I did was run a Compare of the Source code to see the difference between clicking Yes and No with that Security Warning Prompt.

This is a Snippet of what I think is part of the issue.

<div id="ctl00_TreeView1n1Nodes" style="display:none;">
                        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-width:0;">
                              <tr>
                                    <td><div style="width:10px;height:1px"></div></td><td><div style="width:10px;height:1px"></div></td><td><img src="/WebResource.axd?d=Gam7iEUWSnuimV4i1kmUGsGaQIdUFcuRMoitMi0R3hKVuhOjn8Qhh0Uoma-ZmniMVXdxzt39G5_60vAbh9-lq_7aX0guE3eV8aZJ1gltuDup_pfmEyw4Cf9sqdX0epHv0&t=634377599513564228" alt="" /></td><td class="ctl00_TreeView1_2" onmouseover="TreeView_HoverNode(ctl00_TreeView1_Data, this)" onmouseout="TreeView_UnhoverNode(this)" style="white-space:nowrap;"><a class="ctl00_TreeView1_0 ctl00_TreeView1_1" href="/desktop/visitors/introduction.aspx" title="What you might expect from counseling" id="ctl00_TreeView1t2">Introduction</a></td>

I'm no HTML Expert so you might want to post another question in the HTML Section.
