Hi Ricardo,

I understand you have changed from having a subdomain
named intranet to having an A record by that name in your
company.com zone.
Good.
Now you have an internal machine that is able to ping the
name intranet.company.com and get that correct IP for the
internal web, but it goes straight to the external website
when the name is entered in IE (that is what you now see,
right?)
I can only understand this in some form of IE caching, but
even that does not add up.

This is what you say is your current state, right?
Is this so on only the one machine?
