Accessing an internal website from a separate corporate network
To the experts,
Here is some background information before getting into my situation. I have a computer running Ubuntu 12.04 and Apache as its web server. This computer hosts a learning management system (LMS) which is accessible via a web browser: http://localhost/demo
The network that this web server is on is a Vlan (called BTS) and the main network is called MainBTS. From within the BTS network, all programmers and developers can access the website. However, the website cannot be accessed from the MainBTS network unless the hosts file on the local computer is configured. The issue is this website must be accessible from outside the BTS network without configuring the hosts file due to limited admin rights and security concerns.
Can someone help me figure out how to access this website from the MainBTS network without editing the hosts file?
Thanks

OK good, I'm sure they would not have an issue creating the record, it is a pretty common request most places.

Unfortunately, I do not have Active Directory/DNS admin rights on the MainBTS network to create a pointer record to the web server. So, users will have to use the IP address to access it for now unless I can get the MainBTS system admin to create this record for me.
Thanks for your help.
