We have an externally hosted web site of the same domain name as our
internal domain.

From inside the firewall, http://www.mydomain.com works as desired and
goes to the external site. However, http://mydomain.com goes to the
internal DC resulting in a "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)".

How can I direct http://mydomain.com to go outside the firewall?

Thanks in advance,

-Ed

Never mind.

I added an A record to my DNS Forward Lookup for my domain. I left the
name blank to leave same as parent (mydomain.com) and set the IP to the
external web server. This seems to work.

Add to internal DNS the short domain name to resolve to the external IP
address.
