I manage an organization network that has it's domain name say 'abc'
same as their web site name say 'www.abc.com'.  This might not be a good
idea but I inherit this setup.  Also, the web site is being host by an
outside ISP so it is outside the company ISA firewall.

I have a dedicated win2k server running ISA Server with all the proper
win2k and isa patches.

Problem, If my internal network client were configured as a web proxy
client, they can access outside web and www.abc.com without any problem
at all.

If they switch to just running the firewall client, or both web and
firewall client, they can also browse everywhere but they cannot browse
www.abc.com!!!

Any clue?

From inside the firewall,
I can tracert abc.com
I can tracert any other www.xyz.com

But when I try tracert www.abc.com,  I got a name not found response
right away.
