Our domain for our network is "example.com" and our website address is also "example.com" when we use our two DNS servers we cannot get out to our website. We get a DNS error/page cannot be displayed page. When I manually enter the following into the host file the page is found on that particular machine:

208.123.11.111 www.example.com

Any ideas on how I can get the DNS servers to figure this out without manually entering the host file on every machine? We currently have forwarders setup with our ISP's DNS addresses.

what you need to do is create a host file that points to the web server. go to your dns server and create a new "Host (A)" and then type in www in the host name part and then the internal ip address of the web server then click add. do this for both of your dns server to avoid propagation lag time. hope this helps!
