DNS not letting out to website
I have a domain name that is the same name as the website name (name.com), so I have a domain and a website, but the website is hosted off the domain. When a user tries to get to the website, the DNS server thinks its talking about it and doesnt let through. I have verifed this by pinging the FQDN of the website and the DNS server replies with its (the local DNS server's) IP address. How do i create the passtrough so that a user can get to the website name from internally.

If the domain name has a suffix, such as WWW, you can create an A record that points to the public IP address of the web server.
If it does not contain a suffix, such as http://domainname.com, and domainname is your internal domain, I don't believe you will be able to resolve it properly. This is due to your server hosting DNS for that domain.

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx www.servername.domain.name
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the outside IP of the server.
