I want to setup something where I can have a user type in http://staffnet when they are at an internal workstation and it forwards to an external website such as http://www.mycompany.com/staffnet. Where and how would I set this up? I am guessing DNS but I don't know how. Thanks!

Set up a host record, in your DNS forward zone, called staffnet and point it
at the public IP address of the external website.

But I need it to point to the subdirectory.

This would have to be done on the web server.
If you are using IIS it is easy. Use the Internet services console, create a
new website give it a host header of staffnet (or what ever you choose) then
in the home directory point it to the directory that has the staffnet
resouces.

That isn't a DNS function. The web designer would need to put this in their
page coding.

.....yeah, or that. <g>
I didn't mention that because it isn't clear that the webserver is a)
running IIS or b) is under the OP's control, given that it's externally
hosted.

I thought I'd just throw that in, if the OP really wants to he could still
use IIS to create the staffnet website, then on the Home Directory tab use
"redirection to a URL" and enter http://www.mycompany.com/staffnet

Don't do that, I'd miss out on your interesting viewpoints. 🙂

ROFL

Maybe it is because you're an interesting person, is that unusual? May be.
