HI All
We have registered some public IP address with our full domain name

from the external (anywhere out of my company)when I sent a ICMP request to the site name, I have the site name resolve into a public address which is correct.

back internally, when I try to sent a ICMP request to the site name, I got nothing. I try putting a A records into the DNS server, which I guess it not suppose to be the right thing to do. I have forwarders configured inthe DNS, what else am I missing out?

Thank

new finding
from the router(connected to the internet) i cannot ping to the public address i used for my static nat. after i configure a default route to point to my PIX internal address. i manage to sent ICMP from the router
I telnet to the PIX and after sending a few ICMP to the public address i got a no response.

so now i know at least the firewall seem to be the one causing the problem

Are you sure that it's the name resolution that is the problem? Try using commands like host or nslookup to verify.

It sounds to me like this could be caused by your firewall (or someone else's) not allowing ICMP traffic.
