Local DNS forwardzone not seen by clients?

I setup a forwardzone domain.com with www,domain.com forwarding to external IP and crm.domain.com forwarding to internal IP (same server/dc).  Browsing from the server resolves correctly, but browsing from local PCs in the domain do not. nslookup on PCs shows external ip of domain.com and crm.domain.com. It appears DNS on the DC is not being seen by client PCs; rebooting PCs doesn't help. Probably missing something simple... Thoughts?

I have a feeling it's the DNS cache.  Can you give a try two things on any workstation:

1.  Try flushing the dns "ipconfig /flushdns" from the command line first?  Then test again.

2.  Failing that then stop the dnscaching "net stop dnscache" ... also from a cmd window and leave it stopped.  Now try again the nslookup/browse again.
