Direct Access and host files

[clareq]

Our internal domain was set up on the same domain name as our public web site. We have an A Host entry in DNS to point http://www.domain name to the IP of the website, and a host file that directs client machines to the IP if they miss the www, and that works well internally. However, machines connecting via direct access can't access the web site. If they ping http://www.domain a IPv6 address is returned. Any idea where I start with this?

Hello,

 

You could use split DNS and force users at home to use external DNS servers rather than internal?

Oh, good idea - I'll look into that
