Accessing Domain From Within a Network (RV 120W)

[chasemitchell]

I'm up and running with the RV 120W and have forwarding from a domain to a server behind this router.  When accessed externally, every functions as it should, but if you go to the domain instead of the IP address from within the network it goes to the router login page.  Any way around this?

You'd need to configure an internal DNS server to point to the inside address of whatever you're forwarding from the outside. For example:

Outside users go to:

www.gotomydomain.com -> public address: 5.5.5.5 -> forwarded to internal: 10.10.10.10

Inside users go to:

www.gotomydomain.com -> internal dns points to 10.10.10.10

If you don't have a lot of clients, you can edit their hosts file but this becomes a pain for a lot of entries.

I hope I'm understanding your question.....
