You need a record for www pointing to the external provider. E.g. an A record with the static IP at your provider.

In order to fix some issues with Exchange I needed to create an alias mail.domainname.org which is our external MX record. Basically I want anything internal that goes to mail.domainname.org to go to our Exchange server and its working but when I try to go to www.domainname.org with a browser I can't connect to the site. This is what I did in DNS. I created a new forward lookup zone (without AD) called domainname.org and created an alias called mail. This works but what do I need to do to be able to access the website which isn't hosted with us? Maybe I just went about this all wrong from the get go?
