What is the proper way to add/create the necessary records in my local dns ?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
If users need access on wan and LAN I think reverse proxy is the most secure way to do that.
You need an apache server on DMz and some lines in your apache2.conf.

DNS Zone .com is a good way too.

the site is windows 2003 with exchange 2003. The users are using a number of different devices such as tables, laptops and phones. When they are not in the office they connect via the internet to the email server using outlook and other email applications. I would like to add an autodiscover, pop, smtp dns record which would allow them to be able to address pop.x.com and smtp.x.com as well as active sync while connected to the internal wifi network.
Like says Mahesh, you need to create a DNS zone on your internal DNS server ( x.com) and make your record :
Pop.x.com
SMTP.x.com
Pop.x.com
SMTP.x.com

even though I am not on 2007 and 2010
may be you are not using MS Exchange and you are using some other solution or simply Exchange 2003
You need to ensure that whatever host records (DNS records) you are using on internet, same must be configured in intranet with same DNS hostnames Only
Intranet DNS records will resolves to private IP and public DNS records will resolve to public IP (i.e. Split dns)
Same is true in case of IMAP \ POP as well
