SuperGumby,
Did I misread the original post? First, he says that "Our internet (Linux
based) domain name matches our sbs server domain name" but then clarifies
that "On the web we are: DomainName.net. The sbs server domain is called:
DomainName.local" which to me shows that the Internet FQDN and internal
domains are indeed named differently as they should be.
Nick, as long as the internal domain name is not EXACTLY the same as your
Internet FQDN, you should be fine. What I mean by that is the domain name
and suffix should NOT match between your Internet name and local name, nor
do they match, according to what you said ("On the web we are:
DomainName.net. The sbs server domain is called: DomainName.local.")
For example, your Internet FQDN could be abc-company.net and your internal
name could be abc-company.local (which is what you said) or
abc-company.internal or abc-company.lan or abc-company.bubba if you wanted
it to be. It is the internal domain suffix that should be different from the
Internet FQDN suffix. I never set up an internal domain using the .local
suffix, since as SuperGumby stated, it can cause problems with Macs on the
local network. Your internal name could be xyz123.any-stinkin-name-I-want if
you desired to get very strange. The idea is to keep Internet FQDN which
includes the suffix different from the LAN name, especially the suffix.
Nick, when you ask "To access rww, shouldn't I have named the sbs domain:
SubdomainName.DomainName.net?" the answer is no, you should not have.
Whether or not your Internet domain and SBS domains are both at the same
location (it sounds as though you run your web server locally and not at an
ISP), what you can do is create a public DNS record and point it to the IP
of your SBS server's WAN NIC (or preferably the WAN firewall for the SBS
external NIC). Even if your web site is hosted at an ISP, you could create a
DNS record called remote.DomainName.net and point it to your SBS server's
WAN IP address.
