Erm - OP is talking about internal name resolution. For an internal AD domain: domain.whatever is going to resolve to DCs. This one reason not to use the same domain for external and internal name resolution. Externally use medaille.edu. Internally use corp.medaille.edu or something.

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<http://www.medaille.edu> internally. We have it working with our ISP on the internet public side. Thanks!
