Re: Connect via ServerName but not by IP or FQDN

I'd like my intranet clients (and extranet clients) to be able to connect
using the FQDN --- but you're correct they cannot resolve that name right
now on the intranet (or if behind the VPN). Why would that be? They can
ping the www.mydomain.com, but if I use www.mydomain.com as the server name,
it isn't resolved. How can I get it to resolve the FQDN for a SQL Server
ODBC connection?
