Windows server 16 with a website

Question

My windows server 16 has: IIS, DNS and active director

My local server is obama.local and I host a website call obama.work

The external clients can access the website without any problem

The internal clients can't access the website

I will need to configure DNS Forward Lookup zone but don't the details.
I configures the lookup zone with the following:

obama.work
Name = cpanel
Type= Host(a)
Data = <The external IP address>

This is all I have and is not working.
Can you please help me or give me a web page with information as what to do?

Answer 1

@Dave Patrick According to @Candy Luo this is not a DNS setup issue because I can't access the website by IP address in the LAN
DNS will only help with the resolve domain name to an IP address but I must be able to access the website by IP address 1st.

Any help with the LAN configuration?

Answer 2

Ok, if that's the case then there may be some routing issue. I'd get your network techs to look into that. Again I'd hope that this server is not multi-homed and also doesn't hold the active directory domain services role.

I hope that this server is not multi-homed and also doesn't hold the active directory domain services role. This would be problematic for a number of reasons and could make the routing unstable.
