Hi Taras,

Based on what you further explained, I'm inclined to agree with cgrantski. Google doesn't have to be able to access your site in order to report hits with GA; it's just that the visitor's browser needs to be able to reach google-analytics.com in order to send the visit information. As long as you can access [google-analytics.com...] from within your intranet, and the external server has a FQDN as you say it does, you should be fine.
