RE: Domain Name and Internet DNS name the same



You need to add the IP address of your external web server as a host record
in your internal DNS server. In DNS -> Forward Lookup Zones -> Right-click
on your domain name and select Add Host. Add the host of www and the
external IP of your company's web server.

Hope that helps.
