I don't think it can be done without mucking up your Active Directory resolution. Drop out to NSLOOKUP and type 'mycompany.com' - you should get a list of your DC's. If that's resolving to an external web host instead - it will break things. That's why there are those SRV records in DNS that read "same as parent" in the top-level zone - your DC's are essentially already aliased to mycompany.com.
