DNS SOA Primary Name Server
My internal DNS server has a subnet zone that does not allow the Primary Name Server to be edited. So our internal workstations cannot find our corporate website.
When I do a NSLOOKP inside the network, the primary name server for our corporate website displays the local domain information.
When I do a NSLOOKUP from outside the network, the corporate website displays the correct name server of our hosting provider and the website can be viewed.
I don't want to delete the subzone in DNS but is there a record I can enter that will allow me to replace the name server with the hosting provider's information and not my domain information?

Do you want to change the NS record for that zone or change the A record of your website that is returned by your internal DNS server?

Either I'm misunderstanding you, or those 2 comments are contradictory.

I think I want to change the NS record for the zone.
The internal workstation with the local DNS server IP information (192.168.0.x) cannot see the website and from those workstations NSLOOKUP displays NS as the local domain information.
EXAMPLE
primary name server = XXX.domain.local
The external workstation without the local DNS server IP ( what the ISP has as DNS information) can see the website and from that workstation NSLOOKUP displays NS as the hosting providers NS which is correct.
EXAMPLE
primay name server = XX.hostingweb.com

DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
