Have an issue where internal windows domain is the same name as the external. When trying to access <a href="http://www.website.com" rel="ugc">www.website.com</a>&nbsp;(website is just an example) externally, it is OK. When trying to access internally get a 404 webpage cannot be found. Where this is different from the typical &quot;same name&quot; scenario is that the website, which is hosted by another company is configured to strip the www so that you get redirected to website.com (for SEO purposes). Also the IP address is not static. So setting up a www A record in internal DNS won't work (We've tried). Also tried a conditional forwarder with no luck. Any other ideas?<br />
<br />
Would like to avoid renaming the internal domain if possible as they have a Exchange server.

External website not accessible internally

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
