I current have an exchange 2003 server that has two NICs. One of the NIC is
on the internal private network with the other NIC on the external publisc
network. I have setup a Internal SMTP server to accept the internal mail and
a External SMTP server to accept the external mail. The internal SMTP server
distributes the mail properly but the external SMTP server has the mail
stacking up in the Messages awainting directory lookup queue. What do I need
to do to get this external SMTP server to pass mail to the internal side?

That's a really bad configuration.
The Exchange server does not need to be on the external interface.
disable that NIC and make sure there is a default gateway on the
interal NIC to get mail out that way.
Inbound mail can be port forwarded at the gateway to the internal
address.
