Seems odd to me to need a different domain, I bet you run Microsoft
servers huh? ;-)
Our server with the application install on it is called blackboard, and
is in our local dns as such, from within it's blackboard.bcuc.ac.uk ,
and from outside it's the same. Does that mean you dont hold a local
dns for belfastinstitute.ac.uk? Or even just alias one?
Must get confusing....

The myth that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led them into it in the first place, and continues to do so today.
