I have a webserver sitting in my DMZ. When I try to access it using
"www.hostname.mydomain" from the internal network, it fails to resolve.
When I leave off the "www" it works fine. From outside our network the
"www.hostname.mydomain" works fine. Does anyone no why? Is there anyway to
make it work?

Thanks

Do you have a record named www in that zone?
 
I have a host "library.mydomain." I already have another host "www.mydomain"
If I create a subdomain "library.mydomain" then I create a host
www.library.mydomain" then it will work...but of course now
"library.mydomain" will no longer work.

So it seems the WWW request will never leave and go to the Internet because
the SOA for "mydomain" is my LOCAL DNS Server.

I have been told the IS the case, and this will never work any other way
than the way its works now?

Delete the library host record, create a sub domain "library" then create a
host in the library sub domain, leave the name field blank and give it the
IP address for library.mydomain. Then add the www record with its IP
address.

Kevin gave you the resolution, however, I am curious, is this a single label
name domain, such as that it has no .com, .net, or .anything on the end of
the domain name?
