as a matter of fact i made a mistake when i wrote:
nslookup mydomain.com
i was trying to say:
nslokup mysubdomain.mydomain.com
if i do the
nslookup mydomain.com
from outside my network the it works as it supposed to work but i can't find
the subdomains on my DNS from the outside world, and yes, it is an active
directory and i need some servers to have communication to the outside world
by using URL addresses like subdomain.domain.com
