Here is some more info, my DCs have different domain names than the
clients since the name change for example, dcserver1.forwardzone1.com
FQDN according to the dns site, and my client computers and the
intranet server are clientcpu.forwardzone2.local and
intranet.forwardzone2.local, etc.

It does not matter what domain DCs or DNS servers are in, if you want
http://intranet to bring up your web site, add a record named intranet to
the zone (or zones) that are in the DNS suffix search list of the clients
accessing the site.
As long as that web server at the IP a site that will open by that name it
make no difference where the client is, or what its DNS suffix is. BUT, you
will need the intranet record to any zone in the DNS suffix search list.



------->When I went to create the host (A) record in the dns zone, I
received an information error stating a record with the name already exists.

I also tried the redirect to the default home directory and the site still
would not come up when I typed in the alias in the browser.

I looked up some iis6 config info and created an alias using the right click
on the intranet website to create a new virtual directory and have mad a
lttle bit of progress,

now when I type in the alias I get an error page from the (sharepoint)
intranet page stating that a unexpected critical error occurred. I say
progress because this error showed it was looking internally, but I am still
at a loss as to what to do from here.



so when i type the alias i want in the cname it automatically adds
forwardzone2.local to whatever name I put there so if i want my
intranet site to be
www.ourintranet.com the cname resource record under fqdn would put
ourintranet.com.forwardzone2.local automatically when all i want is
the www.ourintranet.com

This would require web site redirects, if you enter http://intranet in a
browser, unless the seb server redirectds this name to another site,
http://intranet will stay in the browser.
