DNS issues? Website not browseable internally

Hi,
Our company website used to be hosted on one of our servers (server 2003 DC/DNS/DHCP/IIS6...). I simply pointed the domain at it and added host headers. It is now hosted elsewhere and I amended the A records accordingly with our registrar.
I removed the zone for the .com domain (internally it is .local) and stripped out all host headers. There are still a few subdomains that are pointing at my servers for various hosted web applications. nslookup from all servers (set up the same at 4 sites) gives the right address although reports the name servers (my registrars) as non authoritative.
I can ping from 3 sites but not the 4th. Tracert is slow, as is loading the web pages at these 3 sites, but times out, as does the web page, at the 4th. I have tried changing forwarders to Google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 with the same results.
I can ping from the broadband router at each site and it works perfectly externally so I am assuming that the problem is internal.
PLEASE HELP as this is driving me mad.
Cheers
Graeme
 
How many internal DNS servers do you have? When you ping from the bad site, does the ping show that the IP has been resolved? If so, it's not a DNS issue at all, it's just an IP routing issue. The fact that tracert times out after a few hops also indicates that it's a routing, not resolution issue.
