Since you thankfully volunteered the info that you have a Pix firewall, a
good guess is that it is an EDNS issue, fix the Pix to allow UDP packets
over 512 bytes (recommended) or disable EDNS, preferrably fix the Pix.

You won't be able to use http://mycompany.org, the record for that name
_MUST_ point to the IP address on your DC that has file sharing enabled.
This is for the SYSVOL DFS share at \\mycompany.org\SYSVOL
For the www open the mycompany.org forward lookup zone, create a new host,
name it www give it the IP address you need to access the site by. If you
must use http://mycompany.org you would have to install IIS on all DCs and
redirect the site to http://www.mycompany.org
