You'll either need to make the DNS entry as a host in your local domain's zone - that is, foreignmachine.yourcompany.com - or create a new zone, perhaps myoutsideipaddresses.com and then create the A record there. In the latter case, you'll then need to put a link to foreignmachine.myoutsidipaddresses.com on a web page or something like that. On Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 11:24 AM, David W.
