Hi folks, I have this case where the domain name is the same both internally and external. This is Exchange 2003 and 2003 domain. They need to set up Outlook over RPC. They are using the same domain for their website, and also for internal domain name. They bought another domain name for the external and still want use the old one (which is the logon domain) for the website. If you set up the client for servername.olddomain.com and the proxy for mail.newdomain.com it resolves the servername.olddomain.com when you are connected. When out of the office, it find's the olddomain.com but not the server because it's registered and live. I can set the internal ip for the server on the servername.olddomain.com .. but then I'm publishing the internal ip to the world, I don't want to do that. Is there some way to get around this? Thanks in advanced for any help.

You need to configure Split Horizon DNS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-horizon_DNS You have public DNS name servers where you have A records pointing to the public IP addresses internet clients are to resolve. You also will configure your internal AD DNS servers configured with A records that point to your internal private IP addresses. It is very bad practice to expose your Active Directory DNS zone directly to the internet. In your example you will have on your public DNS servers mail.newdomain.com resolve to (for example) 222.222.222.222 (sorry to whoever owns this address) On your internal DNS zones you will have the same Host A record mail.newdomain.com resolve to (for example) 10.10.10.10.
