Question : FQDN can not be resolved

Hi,

I am currently running MS SBS2000 with IIS.  From a any web browser inside the network, i can type in the IP address for the server and it pull up in the internal web site.  However, if i try to type the FQDN of the server, it will not work.

Currently, i have a Smoothwall Firewall running that acts as a web proxy.  However, I have ensured that each client within the system has the Primary DNS set for the server and not set to obtain the DHCP.  The current DHCP is the Smoothwall.  I'm not exactly sure how to make sure that all name requests are bounced off the SBS instead of the firewall.

Regards,
Adrian

jerle,

I've found this to be a bit flaky - sometimes it can't identify "local" addresses properly, so sends it to the proxy anyway.

That's what I'd do.  You'd then have control over the DNS (it'll be on SBS) and how IE behaves.
If you're in an AD domain, you can do this as part of the group policy.
