Hi, I have an internal domain, in the format vpr.univ.edu. There is a
web server on this domain that can be reached on the web by its name
red.vpr.univ.edu. I removed this webserver red, from the domain vpr,
and made the ip address of red point to www.vpr.univ.edu (instead of
red.vpr.univ.edu).

I now have a problem. I am able to reach red from any computer outside
the vpr domain using the URL www.vpr.univ.edu.

But from any pc inside the vpr domain, I still have to use the url
red.vpr.univ.edu

I removed red from the DNS server for vpr.univ.edu, also from the
hosts file.

What do I need to do to make pc's within the vpr domain refer to red
using www instead of red?

Sorry if the question is somewhat winding, I am new to DNS.

Thanks very much for all help!

Sue,
You need to create a host or alias record on your internal DNS for a host
called "www" in the DNS zone vpr.univ.edu.

Thanks for the help. Another question, - I removed red from the
internal domain, do I still have to creat a alias for host www in the
DNS zone vpr.udel.edu? (red does not belong to the domain vpr.udel.edu
anymore). Thank you again.

Thanks so much for helping - it worked! I changed the www host A to
point to the IP for this server (it was pointing to a different server
currently not in use) and this solved the problem!
