DNS-Firewall Problems - Help!

Here is a brain teaser for all the DNS/Firewall guru's out there (which I am definately not!).

Here's the configuration: I have a server that I am using for both hosting and DNS. It is running Plesk 1.3.1. It is sitting behind a Sonicwall Tele2 firewall. The internal IP is 192.168.168.50, the external IP is say 63.116.176.33

The primary domain on the server is ids-llc.net (and the server name is ids-llc.net). The registar for this domain is directnic, where there are 2 DNS records setup:

ns.ids-llc.net 63.116.176.33
ns1.ids-llc.net 63.116.176.33

My questions are:

1. What should I set the server's nameserver records to? Currently I it set to:

192.168.168.50 (the internal IP of the server)

Should this be set to the IP of the firewall - 63.116.176.33?

2. How should I setup the DNS for the ids-llc.net domain in Plesk?

Currently it is set to:

ids-llc.net NS ns.ids-llc.net
ids-llc.net A 63.116.176.33
ns.ids-llc.net A 63.116.176.33
www.ids-llc.net CNAME ids-llc.net
63.116.176.33/24 PTR ids-llc.net

Should I point these to the internet IP instead?

3. How should I setup the DNS for any new domains on this server in Plesk?

4. Checking the httpd.conf file for Plesk, it seems to be using the 192... IP. For the server. Is this part of the problem?

Any insight would be appreciated...

Confused...
