In the end, if you want something like this behavior:

Inside mail.ourdomain.com resolves to <internal-IP>
Outside mail.ourdomain.com resolves to <external-IP>

Inside www.ourdomain.com resolves to <external-hosted-IP>
Outside www.ourdomain.com resolves to < external-hosted-IP>

Then, you will have to load "ourdomain.com" on your internal name server
and adjust the RRs as necessary.
