Does your internal DNS server have a "." zone?

OK, here goes...

I have setup a SBS2000 server on a small network.  The external domain
name is different from the internal domain name i.e. external =
company.com and internal = company.local.

Symptoms: unable to connect to SMTP servers (internal mail and incoming
mail OK - outgoing no good) (either via or around Exchange) or other
servers.
For example: unable to read messages from ISAserver.org but able to
display list of headers.  Unable to query MS-KB (bugger, that) or log in
to websites like Yahoo, MSN, etc.

Thought it was initially related to Exchange or ISA but had same problem
when conencting using Internet-Mail to different server.
Followed article regarding SMTP mail setup - nslookup with type mx to
microsoft.com resolves OK.
Filters, Protocols, etc have been set up for ISA to allow UDP/TCP pakets
for DNS queries and Zone Transfers as well as SMTP Outpound (53).
So, ISA and Exchange look OK - as far as I can tell.  Perhaps it is DNS
related - does anyone out there know?

I've had this annoying problem for weeks (due to a crash/rebuild) and I
know/hope it is something simple I have missed.

Thanks for your time...

Lynton
