Assuming your internal domain name is not the same as your public domain
name do this:
In your local DNS server, create a new Forward lookup zone, give it the
website's full DNS name, e.g. www.company.com, in that zone create on new
host, leave the name field blank and give it the IP address of the SBS.
Alternately, you can create a new forward lookup zone, name it company.com,
in that zone you will create a new host named www, and one leaving the name
field blank, and give them the IP of SBS. In this example, you will also
need to create hosts for every other name in company.com, e.g. mail, ftp,
whatever, giving them the Actual IP needed to access the site.
