Ok just wanted to make sure that a client on na.abc.com who might be
searching for something on abc.com's wen site would not look at the internal
DNS server and say "Hey, here's na.abc.com....that must be the guy who is
authoritative for abc.com" and never look out on the web.

Not if all the DNS records are correct for the MX and A and www entries and
such...
 
Besides, if ABC bought XYZ, then couldn't they MAKE them change their name??

Calling all DNS gurus...
 
Question for a hypothetical situation. Suppose there was a company called
abc.com and they owned a domain called abc.com. This company had several
branch offices all physically connected and they used the abc.com name. Now
suppose abc bought a company called xyz, who owned the xyz.com domain name.
XYZ wanted to remain on a different network and not be physically connected
to abc company like the branch offices were. However, xyz company did want
to change their domain name to a sub domain name of abc....let's say
na.abc.com. 
 
Now my question...internally on the xyz network, aren't the clients going to
have a problem if their domain name is now na.abc.com and they try to get
out to the domain name of abc.com? (Web site, etc.)
