zentyal

I know this is a very basic question but I need some help.

I'm setting up a domain controller on Zentyal with the domain name example.com. But I need the domain users to be able to get to our company website with the same name (http://example.com) that's hosted out there on a third party's server.

I know this has something to do with adding a DNS record, but I don't know what type. I would experiment, but I don't want to break the whole works!
