DNS Help

1 - Let's say our domain is abc.com.
2 - Our websites are hosted on dedicated servers outside our company.
3 - We're running Active Directory and the domain we setup is called abc.com

Ok, so I added www as a CNAME and pointed it to the IP address to the server that houses
our website. If I ping www.abc.com it resolves to the external IP to the dedicated server.
If I ping abc.com it points back to the internal IP of the PDC 192.168.100.10. How the heck do I resolve abc.com to the external IP?

You need to set the CNAME record with a host of @ to teh same IP.

Yeah, that's the "fix". The best way is to never name your Internal Domain the same as your Public Domain name. All it does is cause confusion. Name your Domain AAA.LAN or something simple and not accessible by the public.

It's resolving to where it is supposed to. If you want to hit the external IP use the proper hostname.. www.abc.com
