You appear to be going in the wrong direction.

: We host a FTP server and our users were accessing the site using the
: external name of ftp.prorodeo.com.

Is this the correct external IP? 64.140.2.125
And name: ns1.isocentric.com
I connected to it:
Connected to ftp.prorodeo.com.
220 Gene6 FTP Server v3.4.0 (Build 16) ready...
User (ftp.prorodeo.com:(none)): anonymous
331 Password required for anonymous.
Password:
530 Login or Password incorrect.
Login failed.
ftp> close
221 Goodbye.
ftp> quit

It didn't allow anonymous logons. Hopefully that is correct.

: When I recreated our DNS I created a
: prorodeo.com zone and put the FTP A record in there.

And what address did you put in there? The external or internal IP address
and is this the external or internal DNS server?

: This caused a problem
: today because people were not able to access our website and we have
internal
: Outlook users that use POP3 to access our mail server and our mail server
: said that prorodeo.com was not found in DNS.

Sounds like you're in the calf scramble already. The IP is important.

: I was wondering what is the best way to set this up so it works again?

Need the IP info first. See above.

If the DNS server is internal and the internal IP address is 192.168.x.x or
some other private IP address and you used the external address, it's not
going to work. If the FTP server is external, then there is no reason to
put a zone in your internal DNS for people internal to get to it. When you
mention servers and internal vs external, we need to know where everything
is and internal IP addresses are important. External usually isn't and
protects your privacy.
