No the opposite is true. Those FQDNs are two different things and exist for
two different reasons,...they should not be the same name. But you are
stuck with it now,...or I should say that it can be a real big hassle to
change it now anyway.
Two things you can do and keep it like it is would be:
1. The first option is to give your internal AD/DNS "static" entries for the
external Hosts so that they resolve properly to the correct external
numbers. All your machines,..every one of them,..needs to use only the
AD/DNS and none other,...the AD/DNS then uses your ISPs DNS in the, ... DNS
Properties--->Forwarders List.
2. The other option is called Split DNS. This article should help.
