If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
The problem is that you have inside hosts which are trying to communicate
with the outside IP address of the firewall. It will not work based on the
security concepts of the firewall.
I bet that if you performed a DNS lookup by itself, such as using the
Windows "nslookup" command, then you will find that the DNS lookup is
successful. Then try to PING the outside IP address of your Cisco ASA
firewall by specifying the PING command by IP address, not name. It will
fail.
I suggest that you place an entry in the HOSTS file of your inside PCs so
that the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) which you are trying to reach is
really pointed to the inside IP address of that server.
