What DNS server are internal computers using, and what is its A record
for mydomain.com?

Most likely you have an internal DNS server with a zone file
configured differently from GoDaddy.  Otherwise, internal users would
see the same thing as external users.  Often this is desirable
(intranet vs external website, NAT, not wanting to expose your
internal DNS names to the world, etc).
