Hi,

I have an External site hosting the xyz.com domain. The external DNS
records contain a host record for owa.xyz.com pointing to our outside
interface on our network.

I have recreated the xyz.com zone on our internal PDC and created a
host record pointing the owa.xyz.com record to an internal IP (The
internal clients are using this as the DNS server). When I do a ping
it goes to the external IP address. When I do an nslookup it points at
the internal IP address?!?!?!?

What I want to acheive is any machines looking for owa.xyz.com from
the internal network get pointed at the internal IP address, not the
outside interface. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Make sure that only the internal DNS is referred to in TCP/IP properties.
If you recently added the internal zone, you may need to run ipconfig
/flushdns
