Intranet using Tiger with Blogs

Hello, first time post. Here we go.

I am trying to setup the following scenario and I need to know if it is do-able and how it can be done.

I want to setup an Intranet inside our company so that it can only be accessed inside our building. Does the user have to type in the IP address of the Mac OS X Server? Or can I run some DNS thing to convert a web address?

Also, I plan to run the Weblog service and iChat service on that OS X Server. I understand that you can use open directory to authenticate the user and allow certain access rights to certain users working on projects where others should not stick their nose.

So, bottom line. Has anyone successfully integrated an Intranet using the weblog feature as the base of the Intranet?

I figure, why not make the Intranet interactive? I’m just trying to find the best way to set it up.

Notes:
Cisco switch running DHCP internally on a 10.0.0.0 network
Cisco firewall installed
VPN Client server installed

Thank you!
