I am new to windows 2003 and need some make the right choose. The DNS
name should it be the same as the name I have resgistered for my email and
web site of abc.com or should it be abc.local.

Hi
Actually that depends of your needs, generally people create a different DNS
name for internal Domain, and leave the public name for DMZs.

so I could leave the dns name.local and have DMZ name.com how would I set
that up also what do I do about Exchange so that is show name.com not
name.local

-In exchange you need to configure RUS and you can define the .com for the
default address.
-In DMZ you setup different DNS servers, then for internal DNS servers solve
the .com domain you can configure Conditional Forwarders for that domain
name (there're other ways, this is only an example how you could do that).

In Exchange System Manager, Expand Recipients, click on Recipient Policies,
Right click on Default policy, choose properties. Select the E-Mail
Addresses tab, click New, select SMTP Address, enter @abc.com and click the
OK button. Then select the abc.com SMTP entry and click the Set as Primary
button and remove the abc.local SMTP address. Click Apply and OK twice to
propagate this to all accounts.
