That's probably meant to be xDSL, (as in ADSL or SDSL etc. or more commonly just called "DSL") Unfortunately I don't have any experience with xDSL either :) > LAN INTERNET > > +--------------+ > | COMP.

The ISP probably expects you to plug your firewall, web server and the xDSL thing into a hub/switch, so the DSL modem will not be able to see the web server if you have it behind the firewall. If you set up proxy-arp on the debian machine, you can trick the xDSL modem into thinking that the web server and the debian box are both on the same local network.
