internal external ?

[RYAN vAN GINNEKEN]

Hello all i am having some troubles with my dns

here is the scenario

I have a cable modem supplied by my isp with 2 connections to the inet 
one rj45 the other usb also i have 2 static ip's
ip address # 1 is my FreeBSD box that has an 192.168.0.202 internal and 
external 68.x.x.1 address this box is called computerking.ca among other 
things and controls my internal LAN firewall etc.  I have this machine 
set up with internal and external views using bind it also controls 
several other domains namely canmail.org
ip address # 2 is my  new Fedora/email server with an external address 
of 68.x.x.2 and is not hooked to my LAN in anyway (that i am aware)

I can access the Freebsd boxes domains both internally and externally 
however i can only access the canmail.org domain from outside my LAN 
why?  Do i need an internal record for it? I realize that i need to add 
internal records for domains that are hosted by the computerking.ca 
server but canmail.org is not on the LAN and has its own ip address. 
Actually i have to add internal records now as my slave server is broken 
when slave is operating properly i can get to all domains without problems.

I have added the internal record for canmail and everything seems to 
work but i am confused why is canmail.org internal? sorry for the 
possibly silly post but i am curios as to what is going on.
