Re: Cant see out to .co.uk from inside my .local domain (forward look

Wrong.

The OP has probably at some earlier time created a pointer to his .co.uk
address, he needs to remove any such pointer and allow DNS to operate
normally.

It _could_ just be a propogation thing. The web hosting service may have
only recently taken control of the DNS zone and the changes need time to
propogate.

You are correct. You need to set up a zone for "yourdomain.co.uk" and then
create an A record for CP, pointing at the static IP.

Hello to all you boffins
I have an SBS2003 server on 1 nic and a adsl router which lets all
clients
and the server browse the internet no problem. except one! (xxx
represents
the name of my domain). Recently an outside agent began hosting my web
page
and email service, but i cannot connect to my .co.uk on their servers.
I cannot browse to cp.xxx.co.uk or http://cp.xxx.co.uk from any machines
on
my xxx.local domain. I can do this from any external machine not on the
xxx.local domain.
I can get to these places from my xxx.local domain if I use ip addresses.
I think it has to do with DNS.
I think I need to set up a new forward look up zone so that the SBS2003
box
knows to resolve xxx.co.uk requests externally.
Please can some body direct me to a resource that will teach me how to do
this or explain in this thread how to do it or what to do if my
assumptions
above are wrong
