Can I assume that all users are using only the Win2k that is _NOT_ in the
DMZ for DNS?
Local computers will not be able to use the DNS in the DMZ for DNS because
if I getting the picture right, it has public DNS zones.
That being said, in the DNS server for the internal LAN, create a zone named
company.com, with records for www and or whatever with the private IP of the
webserver in the DMZ.
If www.company.com is the only name you need to access on the DMZ server, I
would create a zone for that name (www.company.com), then create a blank
host with the IP of the web server in the DMZ, this will prevent the local
DNS from intercepting names that can be accessed from inside the LAN by the
public addresses.
