I agree it's odd, it was set up by another person. But all the servers are
webservers (with the exception of the windows servers and 2 dns servers).

The 2k3 isnt the DNS server, both our DNS servers are linux, the 64.xxx and
the 66.xxx. The 2k3 server GETS its ip from the 64.xxx linux DNS server, as do all
the other machines.
The problem is, the 2k3 server is not accepting connections from ANYTHING outside
of our network, its dns name is resolving, but pinging its static ip doesnt even
get a response. It's not serving as the DNS or DHCP, that's all handled by another
machine, and all our other servers (including an NT4 server) DO respond to outside
connections.
