FQDN recommendation leads to inaccessibility of webpage

[binarycode]

I set up a test environment: Server 2008 EE and followed the advise given to set up the active directory with an owned .com name. This name is also the name of my webppage.

There are many workarounds for this issue, I know. But I'd like to know it from you guys, especially because your videos are logical and cover many newbie questions.

So, actually the problem would be:

How can I make my webpage accessible inside my domain using the internet explorer typing in the address which is also the local domain name in the DNS structure?

Might there be a new easy way since it's Server 2008 and the problem is widely known?

If I understand your question correctly, all you would need to do is create a cname (alias) record on your internal DNS server for "WWW" and have it point to your web server.

Let me know if that does not answer your question.

Shortly before you posted I got it working by creating a new delegation for "www" and "mail" (for the mail server). I figured out the name server and the IP and it works.

Creating a new Host Record would also work out this issue s.o. told me.

Is the method you told me a commonly used way? I'll try it out.
