Re: PPC + Activesync with Direct Push and laptop ?

So it looks like you wish to use Exchange Active Sync with your WM5 device
to sync over the air using your companies external address then return to
the office and use the internal address to sync to. This is possible by
either using a host file on your computer to point the extenal dns name to
the internal address or having your company setup split dns so the same
thing happens.

Split DNS is when you company provides a one dns for internal clients and
another for external clients. So from the outside you access your company
via http://url.company.com and this gets you to their external address of
http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd well with split dns when you access
http://url.company.com from inside their network you get to the internal
address http://abc.def.ghi.jkl
Usually if a company doesn't do split dns then a host file works just as
well, plus you can try the host file without bothering anyone in IT.
