Two names…one domain…

by powlboyjr . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

Can anyone provide me with any advice or references?
We have our domain (domain.local, for example) and host our own web page and email. However, our external name for our website is http://www.domain.com. As you can see, the domains do not match. Also, when trying to resolve this www.domain.com internally, we receive a DNS error. Is there an easy way to fix this? Here are some of the options I thought about, but I am having a hard time convincing some people to understand:
1. Is there a way to forward just the DNS request for www.domain.com to an external server?
2. Can this be resolved internally even though it is a different domain name?
3. Would it be feasible to create the domain.com domain from scratch and create a trust between the domains?
