forwarding to another companys intranet Paco 12/5/2008 8:43:00 AM I'm having something of a little odd problem. I work in a smaller company that is owned by a bigger corperation. There I work we are supposed to have access to our owners internal intranet and some information websites. If I type in www.largecompanynamne.com it goes to their external web site as it should. But when I tries to access the intranet (insite.largecompanyname.com) which we are reaching thru a vpn tunnel. I can't get the page to show. (it tries to go to the external web and the intranet is of course on the inside of the firewall) If I add ip adress and insite.largecompanyname.com to my computers hosts file it works out just splendid. Now, I'm not such a big fan of adding the ip and name to every computers hosts file. There must be some usefull feature I can use in our dns for this, right? Hope you can figure out what I'm meaning and need with my broken English. All help is appretiated.

Re: forwarding to another companys intranet "JohnB" <jbrigan[ at ]yahoo.com> 12/5/2008 4:41:42 PM In the DNS server in your company, setup a Conditional Forwarder to the DNS server the bigger company. You set that up on the Properties for the server, on the Forwarders tab. Put in the domain name of the bigger company and the IP address of a DNS server there.
