When I said I had setup the domain on our DNS, I did this under the local zone but I didn't create a new primary zone. After doing this, it works fine. Thanks for the help. Ok I have figured it out.

I also want to add that we are moving this site from another state. The files have been setup and copied to our webserver but we want to test everything locally before we redirect the domain name. Internally, when I did ping -a newsite.com - it comes back with the current ip address as if I was pinging it from outside our network. I am new at DNS but shouldn't our DNS check for a local host file first for newsite.com and respond with our ip address rather than reaching out to the internet and replying with the current ip address of the soon to be moved site?
