How do I foward website request from client machines in my domain to my hosted website for the same domain.

I created an AD domain with 25 client machines (mycompany.com).  I previously had a website by the same name (www.mycompany.com). AD works fine, DNS server works fine too. Even my hosted imap email (imap.isp.com) works fine for my users (user1@mycompany.com). The problem is that when machines inside my LAN AND members of the Domain go to (www.mycompany.com) they get a "page not found error."  The website (on the ISP) works for all client machines outside the LAN, and it also works for machine inside the LAN and NOT part of the domain.  I'm pretty sure it has to do something with DNS, but my knowledge of DNS is limited.

I'm running MS Windows 2003 SBE server R2, with an AD, and a DNS server setup.
More info upon request.

Thanks in advance for all your help and time.

Thank you Experts for your prompt response.  McNetic, as of right now the server is in production.   Also, we are gearing up to include an exchange server, so we named the domain as our website.  I will try both solutions today and report back to you guys.

Thanks again,

Both solutions were right, however, I was unable to create an A host with the full .com domain.  I, however, was able to get it to work, by following the directions and modifying them to only include the "www." part.  Other than that, if I included the full address "www.mydomain.com" I'd get a "record already exist" error.
