For the purposes of this email my public domain is www.myhome.com

My active directory domain is ad.myhome.com

I created a host header value on my web server for intranet and intranet.ad.myhome.com
I created a host record in DNS for intranet
There is no "." forwarder

Scenario 1:
My web server is a member of the active directory
Users in the active directory can't get to http://intranet or http://intranet.ad.myhome.com.
When they type this address or any incorrect web address it results in what seems to be a redirect to www.myhome.com
Users outside of the active directory can get to http://intranet.ad.myhome.com

Scenario 2:
My web server is not a member of the active directory
Users in the active directory can get to http://intranet but not http://intranet.ad.myhome.com.
Incorrect web addresses result in a page not found.

How do I get http://intranet to work for both types of users?
Why does there seem to be a redirect for any user within the active directory to www.myhome.com if they type an incorrect url?

Thanks,
Aaron

I'm having a similar problem, created an IIS website, mapped to an internal ip, then open the firewall and redirected all http traffic from the external ip to the internal... however, only from the intranet we have access to the webpage.
The webserver IIS was installed before the active directory and no changes were made to it.
any thoughts?
