mike,

as omid said, , in 1 of links sandesh provided, way around to resolve domain name http://domain.com (without www in front of it), (summarized step step)

  1. install iis on each domain controller. must done on each dc.
  2. create www record under domain.com.
  3. give private, internal ip of webserver
  4. in iis console, default website properties, create redirect, , redirect www.domain.com.
  5. this way when 1 of users type in http//domain.com, resolve www record created in step 2.

 

note: due security reasons. not condone installing iis. of customers, tell them use www in fromt of domain name. if .com name, can instruct them type in domain in url, , hit <ctrl> + <enter>. shortcut automatically populate www in front , .com in end.

otherwise, if boss demands have work without www in front, (usually political , not technical requirement), follow above, take note on security implications.
