Subject: Primary-Secondary DNS Issue

I have an internal DNS server. Because I have to use the IP's of the servers
from home. It's set up and it works properly. Now I also have to use the
firewall to get external DNS info, which also works. However, I have a few
issues, and issues within issues:
When using 192.168.0.10(gateway to Internet) as the dns server:
* I can browse the internet just fine.
* I cannot access my servers because they are using the external IP
address.
* I also cannot download anything from the web. I can browse sites, but
cannot download anything from any web site. It either just sits there and times
out, or I get the error "The requested site is unavailable or not found."
When using 192.168.0.1(My internal DNS):
* I simply cannot access any external resources. Or sometimes I can, but
almost always I can't.
When using both:
1) Auto set from the DHCP server
* It seems it is only sending me the Secondary DNS server
(192.168.0.10 for external.)
2) Set manually in windows
* The internet will work indefinatly
* My internal network DNS works fine for a little while. But after a
short time I have noticed that it starts using the External DNS server info
instead of my internal.
The final wanted setup that I need to figure out how to do:
I want my Internal DNS server and External DNS address to both always be
sent to my Windows users when they get an IP lease. I then want my Primary DNS
server to be just that, and have precedence over the External. If an address
does not exist in the internal DNS server then use the external address. And
the download issue, that just leaves me cluless at the moment.
I know that is a lot to ask for, but it's all tied together and I am trying
very hard to get this all working properly. My setup is like so: I have a Samba
PDC running on RedHat 7.3 and finally got it to allow users to join and log on
to the domain. So these problems may have some tie into the PDC, but I do not
know. My gateway(192.168.0.10) to the internet is a Smoothwall Firewall, it is
also the DHCP server. My web server(192.168.0.1) is also my internal DNS server
running RedHat 7.3.
