So internal is fully working? If so, we are nearly there.

You website host != your DNS host. Are you sure this was where you needed to add that.
-
@alex.olynyk And it points to your external IP address?

Who is your DNS host? It shouldn't be the same as your web host.

@scottalanmiller If its not my web host then it must be Windstream

Domain Registrar
DNS Host
Web HostThose are all separate services. You can have them provided by the same company but you should have them provided by different companies.

Highly recommend that this be fixed. Totally separate issue and not a "to do" for today. but get the notepad out and make a list. Your DNS should be completely independent of any other service that you have. The most important that it not be associated with is your ISP, which is Windstream.
There are lots of choices for free DNS hosting and some nice paid ones too. We use CloudFlare, it is free and I highly recommend it.

I got the A record added on my public DNS host and I can reach owncloud externally using the domain name.
Im in the office now and i cant access it internally by hostname. I have an A record in internal DNS and there is nothing in my host file.
When I ping the domain name it fails cause its looking for the public IP address now. Does that mean hairpin routing isnt working?

On your INTERNAL DNS, you need to be using your internal IP address for the owncloud box.

There should be no hairpin routing. This is for doing what your boss is telling you to do which is completely wrong and undermines the reason he gave you for doing it.

That means your internal DNS isn't working. How did this change? It was working, looking for the right IP yesterday, right?
-
It was because I had it in my hosts file. I had to remove it from my hosts file at home so I could access it externally.
Windstream
