sanford, that does make sense.

being the amateur that i am, do you have a direction you could point me in as far as setting up a separate DNS for internal use?

thanks,
jason

Makes perfect sense to me. If your private addresses are NATted at your router/firewall to public IPs, and your DNS server is responding with public IPs, the packets have to traverse your router before heading back in to the server. This can be called "loopback NAT," and it's not supported by many firewalls, whether or not you seem to have the proper port rules on the firewall.

The  solution,  as  ever,  is  to use a separate DNS for your internal
users that spits back internal IPs.
