Apache on 10.3 (sometimes comes up as ".local" )

Registered
I have a web site running on a 10.3 machine using OS X web sharing.

the url looks like this:
http://computername.company.com/site/ (index.html sits in this folder)

(I'm behind a firewall so thought I'd spare you the actual url)

My problem is that if someone types in the path to the web site,
and forgets to leave off the trailing slash,
they don't end up at the site.

example: if they type:

http://computername.company.com/site

the browser will try to send them here:

http://computername.local/site/

and nothing will come up and they'll get this error:

Safari can’t open the page “http://computername.local/site/” because it can’t find the server “computername.local”.

----

Is there a way I can configure the site so that if someone types in
http://computername.company.com/site

the browser will point them here: http://computername.company.com/site/

????

thanks !!! :)
