You are looking at a DNS issue. But, you are focusing on the wrong solution if you 
focus on the honolulu.com angle. Your server is a DC and ISA server, so it's 
ostensibly multi-homed. It is very likely registering the external-facing NIC in DNS 
and your clients (the Exchange) is getting the wrong SRV records for the DC/GC/ISA.
 
There are known issues (and resolutions) with multi-homed DC/DNS servers, moreso when 
they run RRAS or ISA.
 
Look at some pointers here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;KO;275554
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;246804
 
If you post the output of "ipconfig /all" from the ISA server, the Exchange server and 
at least one other client, we may be able to better help you.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Other people's public domain names in internal Active Directories



Ran into an interesting situation this week, a client who had a previous consultant 
set up their small AD and the previous guy assigned it the domain name "honolulu.com" 
which is, of course, a domain name out in the world.  Problem is...it's not their 
domain name.  They have two servers - 1 Exchange server and a GC/DC which also 
(against my advice) is their ISA server.  The GC/DC is Win2000, the Exchange runs 
Win2K3.

Their Exchange server is having difficulty starting up, LDAP errors that hint at DNS 
problems and I'm wondering if the issue is that internal domain name.  The event 
viewer is full of MSADC errors that say the LDAP server is down.  I suspect that maybe 
it's trying to connect to the LDAP server at the public honolulu.com domain.

Their internal DNS seems properly configured and does correctly list their DC/GC 
server.  We can ping the DC/GC from the Exchange server by name or IP address.  But 
Netdiag's DNS tests fail when run on the DC/GC server.

If we start the Exchange server it basically hangs at the "Applying Computer Settings" 
stage.  None of the Exchange services start up, due to the LDAP errors, apparently.

I've been Googling but I have a feeling I'm looking in the wrong places. 

Any thoughts?
