The only things that I can think of is that you may need to set it up so that the external registrars point to your firewall, then setup port forwarding rules on your firewall to go to your DNS server. However, being that you use the one behind your firewall also for your internal I'd recommend against it. If you have a block of IP's, set up an external DNS server for your domain. Or, use a DNS site mentioned a little bit ago in the archives. Then, have one run internally. Hope it helps.
