If a domain you are trying to create a trust with has the same name as an internet address could this cause problems on the verification of the trust.

Yes. When you attempt to resolve the correct address for the alternate domain, you will attempt to connect to the public IP.

A possible fix would be to either perform a zone transfer to your internal DNS server from the alternate domain so that when your clients attempt to resolve that address, your DNS server will have an answer for them. Or you can simply recreate a zone on your DNS server that points to the alternate domain.

I'm not exactly sure if this will work but it's worth a try.

This turned out to be a number of things on the other server we were trying to connect to. Once their server was setup correctly we started getting RPC Errors. We found the problem to be Windows Services for Unix software. We stopped all of its services, created the trust and we were good.
