2003 DNS entries for interanl www site - What is the correct procedure for this entry?

Hi ,

we have an example.local domain and on our LAN is an SSL VPN server, the DNS name for the virtual site is demo.otherexample.co.uk

external DNS is working fine but for testing reasons need to access it internally aswell

when I change my hosts file everything is working correctly, what is the correct method for adding a static entry like this to DNS on server 2003?

thx

Are you using Host Headers on the web site?  That could be why your otherwise having problems.  Make another host header entry for the domain name you want to use on the website that doesn't respond.

No the SSL device dosnt use them
acn you not just add the entry:

demo.otherexample.co.uk    A      ip address

And add the internal Ip address of the machine?

Yes that is correct.


Then it will be demo.example.local
