1) win2k DNS box
2) external web server #1 (works fine);
3) external wen server #2 (problems);

sites on #1 are accessible from the outside world as foo.acme.com,
foo2.acme.com, etc.

sites on #2 are only accessible from the outside world using the box's
external IP. so outside our network: <<foo-box2.acme.com>> never resolves,
<< 216.109.112.666/foo-box2>> does work. internally, <<foo-box2.acme.com>>
resolves just fine.

does my explanation make sense?

Somewhat, but if you want a real diagnosis post the real name, if it is
truly a public name.
How ever if it is not a public name, it will never resolve for external
clients. You would have to have a foo-box2.acme.com public record for it to
resolve. If you do have this record, the IP address it resolves to must map
to the server this site is located on.
