I am in arrears and in need of assistance. Thank you to anyone, in advance, for any help.
I have configured three servers for the non-profit company for whom I volunteer. The servers are as follows:
zimbra 192.168.0.205 x64 v10.04
alfresco 192.168.0.207 x64 v10.04
lamp (www) 192.168.0.209 i386 v10.04
- I have installed ssh, bind9 and samba on all three.
-The zimbra server is fickle and requires zimbra installation after the DNS fix in which I seek.
- the lamp and alfresco, I have installed webmin and intend to install webmin on zimbra once completed
- Finally, I have installed phpmyadmin on lamp, prior to webmin intall
Everything seems to be working great in regards to intranet accessibilty. My registered domain name, however, lacks some important configuration. I am new to Linux in this area; windows is easily fudged. I can navigate to lamp and alfresco with ease. After my, so-called, DNS configuration I can serve up a test page from a remote source e.g. my android phone disconnected from the wi-fi. The windows boxes navigate internally without fail, as I am using one for my ssh client. My FQDN, that is working externally, is not accessible internally. I feel certain that it is a reverse pointer issue, however, in following various tech articles from wiki's, I seem to simply complicate matters. So... can I get away with the /etc/hosts file doing it's thing, install NIS and learn that, or continue trying to get bind9 configured appropriately (which is my ultimate desire...to do it right).
I feel that I'm asking a lot and that I write in an ambiguous fashion so I feel rotten in even posting my plight. Help would be much appreciated. The following are my configuration files that I have changed. Each file is delineated by <!-- --> tags:

I am soooo lost. This is my first real experience with using linux in a production environment so I'm battling a learning curve.
Thanks....if you read this far,
