Re: Web Server help required.



If you are calling using the DNS name of the external IP, try setting
entries in the hosts files on your internal systems such that they target
the internal IP directly. I had to do this - one Linux box running 5
virtual
web servers, each with a registered name. The internal hosts file is used
by
PCs internally, as otherwisde they do a DNS lookup and find the IP of the
external port and get nowhere.
