I have set up a Windows 2000 domain. If the web page for the domain is to be hosted elsewhere, what do I have to do in DNS to allow users to connect to the web page? I need to add a host record, I think, but I'm not sure of the syntax, etc. I'm a newbie, and I would appreciate any help with this

add a host record called www or what ever in your dns record. If that is if you are a domain.com,
point the www or what ever to the ip address of the outside ip address. All other dns inhouse should work fine and will hits the www or what ever fine also.
Also may want to think about forwarding your inside dns to your isp's dns if it can no resolve name. In the mmc select the sever you use for dns , right click and select Properities , forwards and add the ip address of the outside dns for the isp.

Put an entry in the hosts file --> %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts in the dns/dhcp server machine that looks like this:

123.321.0.12 www.ourweb.net www

ie: - ip.num.go.to fqdn.dns.name shortname

The dns service will lookin the hosts file and provide that info to the asking client...

This assumes a simple setup with only one dns server to query. For a more detailed answer to your needs, please provide particulars ...
