intranet

Hi all! I have a server inside my intranet, in wich i have apache running with some web applications.

when i'm at office the url i use to connect is zeus.mydomain.it, it works couse i have in my /etc/hosts a record 192.168.0.11 zeus.mydomain.it, but obviously it does not work when i'm outside in different network.

i have a internet connectino with static ip, so i can connect to my intranet form outside.

the question is: how can i connect to the intranet server using zeus.mydomain.it from inside and from outside my intranet ?

thanks!! Pietro.
