Assuming the domain name of the website is the same as your internal name, you can simply create a www record under the internal zone, and provide it with the "external" (in your case, or the DMZ) 192.x.x.x address of the website. Keep in mind, to access it by http://domain.local (or whatever the internal domain name is) without the www in front of it, will take a few more steps because that is the DC's LdapIpAddress record. If you need to make that work, that is a little more involved because you can't alter that record in DNS or it will affect DC functionality. H owever, you can go into IIS' default website properties on the DC, and configure a redirection to www.domain.local to make it work. Just make sure that doesn't interfere with any SBS sites if you decide to do that otherwise just tell your folks to always use the www in front of the URL.
