Our network name happens to be the same as our website name.

The web site was in our DMZ. To provide access, I added www to the dns which then appended our domain and top domain to it. The IP was the IP in our DNS.
We just moved our website to a hosting facility and it no longer has a unique IP address so the old work-around doesn’t work.
Any suggestions on how to address the web site from within our network?

Unfortunately those hosting the site use dynamic ip's.  The local domain being the same as the website was a poor design and yes I could change the local to local(domainname).com.  I am having those now in control of the NS for the site create a subdomain and I will create a cname in dns to point to that subdomain which they will then point at mywebsite.com.

While checking the site from outside the network I realized the host had the site resolving to mydomain.com and not www.mydomain.com.  With that minor change on their end all is well.  Thank you for all your information it was very helpful as always.
