As long as you have your domain entries pointed correctly, this is
what I thinks happening:

Your request to connect to the webservers gets NATted, goes out of
your network and across the internet (probably), then comes back. The
NAT switches it to the adress of the webserver. The webserver then
responds, but the response DOESNT get natted, thus the reply never
leaves the network, and the reply comes in via the internal network
adress, and not the external adress which TCP/IP is expecting.

Maybe

If this isn't the problem, I'm sure that others on the list have
other ideas that may help

I hope this helps!

Respectfully

Rick
