If you are running your own dns server (split), you can set the resolution of the URL to be on your LAN instead of a WAN ip.

I recently assigned an IP address to one of my websites (which is also https) in IIS. I noticed I can only access the secure IP address from outside the network. Is there a way to configure IIS so that I can access the IP address from inside the network without having to change to the server name, i.e., <a href="https://servername/" rel="ugc">https://servername/</a>&nbsp;instead of <a href="https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx?" rel="ugc">https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx?</a>

Make external IP address available inside a network

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
