Already did that, it will only load if I actually make the change in the host file- I know it's because both the internal and external domains are of the same name. many hits on G , but all have different methods, was looking for the AD correct supported way http://www.google.com/#output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=accessing+external+website+internally&oq=accessing+external+wen&gs_l=hp.3.0.0i13i30.43931.55613.0.57455.26.19.3.4.4.0.393.4667.0j3j14j2.19.0....0...1c.1.23.psy-ab..1.25.4384.iRAASJl9iiQ&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.49967636,d.dmg&fp=206ba46c2c3ca9&biw=1280&bih=654

When I tried to add a www record in DNS (Active Directory) the browsers never make it to the page- I believe* this is something "split-dns" related. Any pointers are appreciated. TIA
