[support] Intranet

[Jeff Greenberg]

I agree. An intranet is simply a network location accessible only by the people within the firewall. Typically the users access sites on it using an IP address. But no matter how they access it, a Drupal site on the intranet would run just like a Drupal site on the Internet. There need be no difference other than access, unless the content requirements etc. are different for the site. It is not much different than having a local version of a Drupal site running on your own machine, other than other people within the firewall can access it.
