My voicemail system is on the netwrok but not a member of the domain.
I used to be able to access the interface thru the browser to login.
We made a few changes this week and installed a new firewall. We
have an ISA 2006 server. And I do have the ip address and the server
name in the host file. I have
10.* in the bypass proxy for these addresses.

I can access by using the ip address but not the host name
city.nupoint.xxx. I thought maybe it was a simple dns entry but
guess i dont get it. To create an A record it wants the FQDN which
is grayed out by default and it is not a member of the domain anyway.
How can I get back the dns name in the browser? It is either a dns
entry or more configuration in the proxy settings. Any idea with
this limited info?

The thing about Proxy servers is that they do the actual DNS resolution for
the Web browser, so apparently ISA is not resolving the name to the correct
IP, or the server itself is on the wrong side of the proxy.
How did the name get resolved before?
Do you have a zone in the local DNS for the name?
Does ISA use this DNS for name resolution?

Normally, you would just have to add a zone for the FQDN of the internal
hosted server, with a blank (same as parent folder) A record in the zone
with the Internal hosted server's internal IP. But, since you have a Proxy,
and the Proxy resolves the name for the browser which bypasses the DNS
client service, the DNS that the Proxy server uses would have to use a DNS
server that would resolve the name correctly.
If the DNS servers in the DNS Client TCP/IP settings can resolve the name to
the correct IP, add the name to the Bypass proxy list.
