Resolving an A name DNS entry from inside that network.
I have created an A name (alias.mywebsite.com) that points to my static IP address (xx.xx.xx.xx). I have an I-Pad app that uses alias.mywebsite.com to connect while I am out of the office. I need to be able to resolve alias.mywebsite.com when I am out of the office and have it connect to my static IP (xx.xx.xx.xx) but when I am in the office I need it to access the server locally at its internal IP address 192.168.1.5, not sure if this is possible or not.

Loopback is quite a basic function of routers and sometimes it is just automatically enabled. Here is the list of some routers that supports it:

It is a kind of workaround to minimize administrative problems, so you will not need to enter all existing dns records if you need just one.
