Question : Forwarding the webmail address to the internet

Hi All,
I have a local network domain name for a company that host their email outside the office, the issue is that the domain name they are using for the local network is the same as the domain for their emails, and sometimes they need to use the webmail address from inside the office, the problem is that when you request the webmail address it search for it in the local network and I need a way to let the browser go to the correct location on the internet, so what do you suggest would be a good soultion for that, i tried adding an A Host in the DNS but that doesn't seem to work, and as the network has an MS ISA server, can we create an access rule for that?

Answer : Forwarding the webmail address to the internet

I think that if you specify in the host file the domain name (example: mail.domain.com) and map it to the external address then you should be fine.

It would be useless to use the host file to specify an internal address, because your dns is capable of resolving inside IP addresses and maybe this is a point that Roachy didnt understand very well
