Hey there,<br />
<br />
It would suggest that you have an internal DNS Server that is authoritative for the same zone as the external DNS Server.<br />
<br />
You normally bump into this kind of situation when running Active Directory, where the domain name there is the same as the domain name of the external domain.<br />
<br />
The solution is pretty simple. Any public DNS record within that zone you need to be internally accessible must be created (duplicated) on the private DNS Server.<br />

Yes, the internal zone is mycompany.co.uk and the external domain is somethingelse.mycompany.co<wbr />.uk &nbsp;Internally I put an A record pointing to the external server, is that sufficient?

I have set up an external server. I can ping it by ip address or name external to my network. Internally I can ping the ip address but not by name, the error is Could not find host. I can ping using -a option. nslookup internally gives the correct address from my dns server. Any sugggestions?

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
