so let's say, in theory, I set up my active directory and DNS with a name of computerheaven.com. Now let's say, again in theory, that no computers in the network can access www.computerheaven.com or mail.computerheaven.com becasue they are looking to the internal server (the www and mail servers are hosted externally.)

Does anyone know how to set a DNS forwarder to forward www and mail so it looks external instead of internal?

I'm not quite sure why this amused me so, but it did.
we should have kept the quote pyramid up to rape Jessie in the face.

what you really want to do is make the windows domain a subdomain of the public one, such as "ch.computerheaven.com" or something.  when setting up structures for businesses with a few offices, I do things like "ind.frobtech.com", "atl.frobtech.com", etc. 

since your PDC believes itself to be the authoritative server for computerheaven.com, it will never forward queries to another server for that zone.  you can simply add the A records for www and mail and make sure that they are changed to match any time the public server's records are changed.

so how do you add the A records for www and mail?
I haven't done domain server stuff in a long time. I thought it would come back to me but it didn't.

Oh, and I'm betting that swolt didn't do this in theory.  I bet he did it in reality.

d'oh!

it was far easier than I thought it would be. I set a forwarder in DHCP and it works now.

You mean it was theoretically far easier than you theoretically thought it would be, because you theoretically set a forwarder in DHCP and it theoretically works now.  Right?
