It sounds like the DNS has the external IP address and the routers aren't setup to allow connections to the external address from inside the organisation.
The best thing to do is to configure NAT on a router to redirect the external IP to the internal IP. It will be tempting to have separate internal and external views in the DNS, but don't do that, it causes lots of pain in the long term.
Or split-horizon DNS.
(It's not nice, but IMO NAT is worse.)
Judging by the addresses given earlier in the thread, unfortunately NAT is already involved in the scenario.
