Re: Trouble with SBS forward lookup zones

hmmmm

ok well i set up a new domain in the zones and made the A record to the private address. now it resolves the name to the private address while inside. i guess i didn't give it enough time for all the caches to flush.

so yeah, thanks! i did what you just said before but it wasn't working, thus the post :)

ok correct me if I am wrong here.

You can access from outside the network with no issue?

You cant access from inside the local network?

If both are true then the problem is you cannot connect to the same IP that
you are sending from

From inside the lan you should not leave the lan to resolve an address that
is local to itself (waste of resurces and time)

Create a new DNS record on your own server resolving the FQDN to the local
address of the server inside your lan

Also you always need to do this if your internal Domain name is the same as
your external domain name, the system will always see the address as local
and not try to route externally -

i have an SBS server that sits on the LAN behind a firewall etc and has
a private IP on the interfaces (bridged).  this private IP is accessable
 from a public IP via NAT rules on the firewall.  i then have a host on
our domain that points to this public IP (typical stuff).  the domain is
also registered with CEICW as the domain of the computer (since we are
using the Exchange server as a backend mailserver/workgroup server).
the problem i am having is that i can't access the server on the LAN
using the host on our domain.  the DNS resolves to the correct public
address but the connections drop (even pings).  i have the LAN opened up
all the way to itself on the firewall.  is this an SBS problem or a
firewall problem that i need to explore further?

thanks for any insight,
Chris
