most web hosts will point company.com to the same address as www.company.com
so you need to distinguish your office from your web somehow, I'm as likely
to use suburb.company.com as anything else because people tend to remember
it.
Many would simply use mail.company.com on the basis that (among other
things) SBS is normally the primary mail server for the domain.
Whatever you do, it's just a name. Also, you can refer to the server by
multiple names if you like. (causes a bit of complexity about certificates
but...)
If users cannot remember suburb.company.com/remote you get the web developer
to put a link on WWW (Employee Web, or similar).
DNS 'A' records point to IPs. Whoever hosts your public DNS creates the A
record, and probably an MX record as well.

We have SBS 2003 Premium R2 and want to use RWW. Our confusion
revolves around understanding how to register a FQDN with our ISP and
where that information goes in SBS.
Here is what we have so far:
1. Static IP provided by our ISP
2. Company external website (www.companyname.com)--- not hosted by ISP-
hosted by Network Solutions
3. Server Name = Server1
4. Domain Name = Company.local
Questions:
1. So, is it true that we could never use https://companyname.com/remote
to gain access to RWW? For instance, do we have to use something
like: https://gotocompanyname.com/remote?
2. Do we call our domain host or ISP in order to get a FQDN registered
and tied to our Static IP? For example, if we have to use something
other than https://companyname.com, is it setup as a subdomain?
3. We have not setup an internal company web yet. Does any of this
effect that setup?
4. Do we then rerun the CEICW? If so, what new inforamtion will we
provide in this wizard?
Thanks
