ahh makes sense! Yes our domain name is the same as our public. We are migrating to 2008 R2 in the next month so I will change it to a split-domain then. Thanks! Bob

What Karl has suggested will work, HOWEVER, If your AD domain name is the same as your public domain name, then you will not want to do this, as your AD servers will not be happy. This is one of the problems of a split-domain when AD is involved. You'll just have to suffer with the www from the inside. If your internal and external domains are named differently, then no worries... -ASB: http://XeeSM.com/AndrewBaker On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 10:37 AM, Chyka, Robert <[email protected]> wrote: Hello, We have a Active Directory 2003 Domain with Microsoft integrated DNS running for our company. If I want to add a DNS record to get to our webserver, but want it to resolve without the www, what type of record do i use? i was trying to put a CNAME record in, but it already has our domain name in there by default and you cant change it and i cant leave the input field blank for the hostname. We want medaille.edu in a browser to redirect to www.medaille.edu internally. We have it working with our ISP on the internet public side. Thanks!
