What's happening is the webserver (10.0.0.128) gets the request but is
talking directly back to the requesting machine (assuming they are on the
same subnet) when the requesting machine is expecting a reply from your
ext_ip. They only easy way I see how to do this is to split your internal
net into mulitple subnets so that your client machines are one and your
servers are on another.
