Made a domain name boo boo

I named our Windows 2003 internal domain with the same as our external
Windows domain e.g. bladomain.co.uk
I now realise that this was a mistake and I should have called it
bladomain.local, as when trying to access our company website (not hosted by
us), it won't resolve.

Is there a way I can put some kind of DNS pointer/forwarder for
bladomain.co.uk so that it resolves externally? also we don't use a proxy.
I'm not great with DNS, so easy instructions would be greatly appreciated!!

INtetrnally manuall create your www, ftp and whatever records under your BLA
zone and provide the actual external IP addresses. If it is a resource your
are hosting for the world from your internal network, such as if you are
hosting a web server, create the record and provide the internal private IP.
You wouldn';t need to create a mail record if you are hosting Exchange, if
not, create that too.

You can also delegate a www (or whatever) record too, to the DNS servers
that are SOA for the zone. Rt click, new delegation, type in www, provde the
external SOA. TO find that, use nslookup, use server 4.2.2.2 to find it.
