url not resolving without www

[pquery]

where should I look to fix a name not resolving without the www prefix?

 

I have another subdomain resolving to another machine on the network, but I've tried using an alias and a virtual domain but it doesn't seem to resolve, either inside my intranet or on the intranet.

 

Also how long should this take to replicate around a intranet and across the internet?

It could very well be a dns issue, you need to add a CNAME record for www. This could take upto an hour to resolv though Ive never had them take longer then say 20 mins.
