RE: LAN Users unable to access locally hosted website with FQDN

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

On your AD dns server, yes. Not in the zone.

Example:

Your ad is called blahbal.local, pulic is blahblah.com. The outside world
uses the public dns as it stands today.

You create a zone, blahbla.com on your internal DNS that your internal
clients use and manually create the records to point to the web/mail/whatever
servers internal IP.

Since now your internal DNS thinks it is authoritative, the public DNS will
not be used.
