Ok..Can you create another DNS entry? Create an 'A' record which should point to Name - intranet (actual FQDN would be - intranet.yourdomain.com), IP Address - 10.1.1.1
Once created, try http://intranet this should bring the page.

I'm a little confused. Can you clarify whether you want your users to type http://intranet.com, http://intranet.mx, or simply http://intranet to bring up the site?

HI all
I have created an forward lookup zone name "intranet.mx" and added a blank host record that points to the ip address on the intranet server.
do you have document on how to create a host header on the intranet site ?
thanks for the support.

If the intranet site happens to be running in Microsoft IIS 7 (the version built into Server 2008 R2), this article will tell you exactly how to do it.
If it's running on a newer version of IIS, I'm afraid I can't find a corresponding article. The procedure should be very similar, though the interface might be a little different.
If the site is running on something other than IIS, I'm afraid I have no idea how to do it.

Adding host headers- open the intranet site, bindings in the right hand side (action panel), edit bindings, in the host name field add the intranet address.

All:
the accepted solution was from DRDave242, I followed his solution and EVERYTHING working. Thanks DRDAVE242 for you help . Just finished testing and everything is working . so this is what I did
set up a forward lookup zone and name it "intranet.mx". then create a blank host record with the IP address of the server. After that we created a host header on the intranet site itself. Tested and now user can gain access to the web page.

Is INTRANET.COM site hosted internally? if so, simply create a CNAME record on your internal zone with pointing to the correct server. Another option would be creating a blank "com" zone and add an 'A' record which pointing to the IP address. Both of them will redirect the query to the site when you enter intranet.
