Claus,
I have everything working now. It was an MX record issue on GoDaddy.
Thanks for all your help on this matter. It was much appreciated.

If I remember correctly, you have a A record called MAIL pointing to your SBS IP and your MX record points to that A record - right? I'm talking here about the DNS at GoDaddy.
You say that you can send to the internet but right below you tell us that you can't. Which is it?

I followed your instructions, and now when I type in the www address to our domain,
I goes to the correct server and public IP address. Great :)
Now all of a sudden, I can no longer receive internet email from outside our domain.
I can send to internal and internet domain addresses, but cannot receive from the internet.
No additional changes were made except your last instructions. Below is the output from
where I try send to an external domain.
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

First, run the CEICW and change the certificate to something like mail.yourdomain.org. Then go to GoDaddy and change the WWW record to point to your other public IP. Then instruct your users to use
http://mail.yourdomain.org/exchange to connect to OWA.
That's all you need to do.

Its a little overwhelming with three different ideas, but I will give it
a shot here and I will keep you posted on the outcome.
At GoDaddy, I have a an a record for www, mail and smtp that points to the ip
address of our SBS server box. The users use remote.domain.org and www.domian.org/exchange
to reach those sites.
Thanks,
Ron

What you describe will need the www A record (and the main domain.com record, which has become customarily an alternative to www.domain.com) to point to your new web server's public IP address, and you will need an A record with some other name to point to the SBS public address. If you have two separate IP addresses, you must have at least two distinct hostnames.
That was a massive typo. I have learned over the past year that a web site should not
be setup on an SBS, so the answer is no...no website is there.
To answer you second question, it is a public IP address.
On GoDaddy, I created an A record (www) that pointed to the new public IP address
on the Windows 2003 server, but that broke my OWA access in exchange, so I have changed
it back an everything is back working correctly.
After a little rest, this is my overall goal.
I want our domain name to point to a separate server that will be created using a different IP (public)
address. What needs to be installed and configured on the second server? I am sure IIS and DNS will
be required. But when a public user types in our domain, what changes needs to occur at GoDaddy to make
this happen and any other changes need on and if any on the SBS box?
If you already host email on the SBS, then you may already have an A record for mail.domain.com or similar, which will do, or you can create another such as sbs.domain.com. Whatever it is, it becomes the new hostname for OWA and RWW access.
If you do host mail, and you already have an MX record pointing to a mail.domain.com A record which points to the SBS public IP address, that won't need to change. If you host mail and don't already have both of those records, you will need to create them when you change domain.com, which is the default mail server.
If you have the necessary DNS control, set the TTL (time to live) of the records you need to change to something very short, and do it at least the old TTL value in seconds before you make the change. That way, all the DNS caches which may have held the old values will have to discard them before the change happens. Set the TTLs back after making the change. Not a problem for the web server, but important if you do need to change the mail-related records.
As far as DNS for the new server goes, you really don't want to get into hosting a public name server, and organising a geographically separate backup server, for one server computer. The new server can use a public DNS server for its own needs, or even its own router as a caching server, as it doesn't have to know anything about the SBS domain.
