We have two domain controllers running our internal DNS, (OPLIN) takes care of our External DNS records. The internal server’s addresses are 192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.34. Our library’s web site is hosted at NEO and it’s IP is 66.213.2.68. Now externally, if someone types in <a href="http://www.rrpl.org">www.rrpl.org</a> or rrpl.org, they are sent to the library’s web site. Internally, if you type in <a href="http://www.rrpl.org">www.rrpl.org</a>, you are sent to the web site. BUT, if you type in rrpl.org, you get this funky web site dealing with IIS7. It is pointed to the internal server(s).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Now if I ping rrpl.org (internally), I get the ip address of the internal domain controller. If I ping <a href="http://www.rrpl.org">www.rrpl.org</a>, I get the IP address of the web site (hosted at NEO). In DNS, we have an A record for www, which points to NEO’s web site. Also in DNS, there are A Records listed as “(Same as parent folder) for both the internal servers (.5 and .34). If I delete those two entries, ping rrpl.org, it will give me the NEO IP address. If I type in rrpl.org, it goes to the web site. This only last about an hour as this A record (same as parent folder) re-populates itself. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>What do I have to do to stop this from happening and to get rrpl.org to work internally all the time?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Thank You,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Jim Lack<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
