My forwarders are working fine and I know they are suppose to resolve the lookups. They resolve like they are suppose to just not the names I specified in my first post. I know how DNS is suppose to work. This is actually the second Win2k3 domain I have had this problem with. It just won't resolve these two domains so far. I am not sure if there are more or not but these are the only 2 that have come to my attention.

     You local DNS server is not supposed to resolve Internet names, it is only
     supposed to resolve names within your own private system. You use a
     Forwarders List in your DNS server that lists the ISP's DNS Servers. Your
     DNS should use that to forward all Internet name requests to the ISP's DNS
     and those DNS Servers will resolve the names or pass it on to the next level
     DNS Server that will.
