If you're natting the external IP to an internal IP, then you'll need to use that internal IP address on the local subnet. You might try using "machinename.example.com" for the external IP, and "machinename.local" for the internal IP; or you can use split DNS if you want to use the same hostname both inside and outside. -- -Chuck
