Cname Record for an External Site


hi,

i have interesting problem.  have setup small business internal domain of internal.abc.com.  have external site abc.com hosted external company. 

they have lotus notes installlation has address of notes.abc.com coded it.  doing befor going external , network in order go mail server.  trying make pointer directly ip address of notes server 172.19.87.x.  created record works fine, fqdn notes.internal.abc.com. 

i tried createt cname notes.abc.com, comes notes.abc.com.internal.abc.com.  there way create record point abc.com domain without creating primary zone abc.com?  worried if create zone abc.com, have maintain dns records internall, externally.  if there quick way have forward requests not have explicite record internet work well. 

thanks

you don't need create cname. create zone name of fqdn , create blank hostname entry, such as: create zone called notes.internal.abc.com, right-click, new host (a) record, keep name blank , type 172.19.87.x.

this should help:

split zone or no split zone - can't access internal website external name
