asked on

local domain same as web domain causing website issues internally

Our local domain is ourcompany.com and our website is www.ourcompany.com    when viewing our website externally we have no issues.   However outside our domain many of the plugins remove the www and therefore are pointing to ourcomany.com which in turn points to domain controller.

The simple fix would be to point ourcompany.com to the external IP address but I am assuming this would cause domain issues locally.

Any suggestions?   Anyone else have similar issues.

rename the domain maybe?
Or use a split DNS.

I would assume renaming our domain would cause many issues so trying to avoid that.    

Can you explain Split DNS?
just did a bit of reading and Split DNS does not help with this.    Renaming domain can cause a big list of issues.
