I've never tried it with natd on freebsd but I have on many routers just setup a loopback adapter which will allow your hosts which are inside to loopback into the webserver. I searched through the docs but I can't seem to find a specific example. Perhaps someone here has some experience with this setup. -Just as an example, my home web hiemstra.us is actually served by 192.168.1.20 on my LAN. -I don't have any funny DNS going on to get there. -My router figures out I actually need to get to 68.165.225.111 and routes the requests through the loopback -I get the desired page delivered I'm not 100% sure this is feasible in freebsd but it should be.

Hope this helps. > >-Derrick > Yes, it is an internal DNS setup and I believe "views" requires BIND9. With BIND8+, you need two DNS setups: 1 for external and 1 for internal (LAN).....
