Thanks very much Kevin for the tip.

I did this and now I can ping the site, but it resolves to the
external
IP address not the internal one. Is there a long delay when you make
a change to a local DNS server before the changes take place? Is
there a procedure to reset everything? My internal network consists
of one
server.

I've run into a problem before, made changes, and everything appeared
to work for awhile...then a couple of hours later I had DNS problems
again.

First, make sure all internal clients use the internal DNS server, only.
Even if you have only one internal DNS server, it is the only one that can
resolve the local addresses. No external DNS servers allowed in any
position.
Then, run ipconfig /flushdns and try accessing the site again.
