Create a new forward lookup zone using the website name, e.g.
www.mydomain.com then in that zone create a new host, leave the name field
blank and give it the IP of the internal web server. This wa only
www.mydomain.com will resolve to an internal address. Other names in
mydomain.com will be forwarded.
