easier way to do this than anyone to edit HOSTS file? [external ip address] [mail web]
Q: Our Windows domain is xyz.com (fictional) .
our domain for email / web is yyy.com
Our main website is hosted by a web hosting provider that handles DNS for that website and our subdomains are locally hosted subdomain.
The on our servers. mail.yyy.com hw.yyy.com and is hosted internally.
What I would do is ask our webhost to a host in the DNS server to be added to point to our external IP address via NAT is
then out our servers.
When we type mail.yyy.com I can not the page. It says page can not be found. If I go ahead an add an entry in my
hosts
10.1.1.100 mail.yyy.com
then file it works. But I dont want to do this for 100 + computers! I can not add DNS Active Directory, because domains
are renamed. Is there a workaround?
Re:but i already have a DNS server running in AD

Anyway, if you're AD DNS server is authoritative for yyy.com why not just add an A record to it for the mail host?
