How do IE & ISA use DNS...?

Hi there
I have a WAN link to a parent company who hosts a server which I wish to
access via the WAN link as opposed to the slow public internet connection.
All the routers have been configured to route traffic via the WAN link
instead of via the internet.
I now host a secondary DNS zone to my parent company in which the private IP
Address of the web server is listed, and when I do an NSLOOKUP, TRACERT,
PING etc I always connect via the private IP Address over the WAN link.
But when I try to use Internet Explorer to access the website I essentially
get timeouts and can never connect to the actual website. My theory now is
that when I try to access the website, my Internet Explorer (along with ISA
I presume) does not query my local DNS Server for the IP Address of the
website, but rather appears to receive the public IP Address of the website
(How..? I don't know!!), and that is why I believe my connection times out
because I try to access the site from the internet, and the routers on that
side then try to route the traffic back across the WAN link thus creating an
invalid session and thus it fails.
The DNS is setup as follows:
- My PC looks to internal DNS server
- Internal NIC of ISA looks to Internal DNS Server
- External NIC of ISA has no DNS settings
- DNS Server configured to use ISP's DNS servers as forwarders
Can anyone perhaps shed some light on this for me please?
Thanks
William R.
