ownCloud Routing

nslookup seems good...
nslookup mail.roseradiology.com Server: 127.0.1.1 Address: 127.0.1.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: mail.roseradiology.com canonical name = roseradiology.com. Name: roseradiology.com Address: 72.52.167.28 -
So my first guess is that DNS is not working on the ownCloud box and that's why it can't look it up.
-
Run the same command that I just ran from the ownCloud server and see what it returns.

LOL, you have to add that in manually to your local DNS at each site because you are overriding the domain

Unless he added a wildcard to his local DNS it should still attempt to find stuff externally for items not listed locally.

Can you find anything by DNS on the owncloud box?

That's actually a really good idea...
To fix the mail lookup problem for mail.reoseradiology.com, just ad another A entry for mail.roseradiology.com to point to 72.52.167.28
Edit: If the IP is the same as www.roseradiology.com, you can just make it a CNAME and point mail.roseradiology.com to www.roseradiology.com

@JaredBusch I can ping google just fine from the owncloud box. Probably doesnt matter at this point cause adding the DNS entries works for a few minutes but then mail and the website stops working. My boss is putting the project on hold for a couple weeks until he can speak with the consultant.

Sure, as soon as you have it all figured out.

If i deleted the DNS entries and zone I created, flushed DNS on the server and workstations, rebooted computers, but some computers still cant get to mail or the website
what else can i check to see where the issue lay?
-
could it be the A record i created on my public DNS?

Why did you do that?

Only if it is an incorrect one,

Because he has no idea what he is doing. His boss obviously is exacerbating things.
Their entire network setup sounds like a cobbled together mess. He has mentioned wanting to merge domains and such, but that is really not the problem. Many companies have multiple domains and have no issues.
The problem is that this is not being properly managed. Likely it was never managed and just continually had random fires put out with cobbled together fixes that resolved the symptom but not the problem.

And instead of thinking about the cause of the problem, you simply started deleting things?
You just completely reinforced the entire point of my last post.

They stopped working because they weren't entered into the DNS properly?
No, there isn't an automatic build/rebuild DNS function.

Same person who screwed things up getting us here. I think the weak link has been found.
