Calling all experts!!!

We have migrated from NT4 to Win2K3.
We used to host our own Primary DNS record on one of the NT4 Member Server.
This server was also acting as Firewall (Checkpoint) server.
Our domain name is abc.com.sg!

After the migration we configured our PDC as Win2K3 DC and configured AD and
DNS. our internal domain name is domain.abc.com.sg.

Now I want to retire my old DNS Server; how should I configure my internet
DNS abc.com.sg.

Can I create a separate zone on Win2K3 AD??

We are also hosting our mail and web server on our site. How do I record MX
records and A Records?

We are also planning to implement ISA 2004 on Win2K3 server. This is for
your information. Using ISA I can publish my DNS server; but will it expose
my Internal DNS as well?

Please help!!

Regards
ShaiMerc
