I’m trying to give users access to do their timesheets from home using a web browser. &nbsp;I have set this up in the accounting software that runs on a server on our local network. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I want the users to go to<b><i> timesheet@domainname.com, </i></b>. &nbsp;Do I add an <b>A</b> record in the DNS called <b><i>timesheet@domainname.com</i></b> point it to the public IP address of the firewall for that entry? <br />
<br />
&nbsp;I will then set the firewall to forward the request to the server on the internal network. &nbsp;Is this correct as far as name resolution of <b><i>timesheet@domain.com</i></b>?<br />

DNS A record

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.

Golang, also called Go, is an open source programming language that is a statically-typed language with syntax loosely derived from C, adding automatic memory management, type safety, some dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types such as variable-length arrays and key-value maps, and a large standard library. Go is a general-purpose systems programming language that aims to be efficient both for development and execution with a focus on fast compilation and increased maintainability of large projects. Go was originally targeted at systems programming tasks such as building server/web applications, high throughput middleware and databases.
