DNS won't update from the root server

We installed Windows 2000 server on our domain and named the domain the same as our Internet domain but we aren't doing the DNS for the Internet domain. The problem is that when we add a new website to the root domain our users inside the domain can't see those websites unless we make manual A record entries in the DNS. Is there any way to redirect all requests for http to a different DNS server? We create a website or so a week that is a subweb of the root and our hosting company won't allow us to do dynamic updates to our server.

According to Microsoft, you must add a DNS server to your external network. In your situation, I'm not sure that is possible. You might be able to set up a secondary with your ISP's apporval and host it local, but external to your firewall.

Thanks... Wish we could have had an alternative method though..:)
