Hrm, I actually meant to say:
http://aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:ppppp/servlet/self
where ppppp IS the FNP port!

Oh, and the other thing where someone commented that on the majority of NATd
setups the NAT router would actually spot the destination IP address as its
own and route the request locally instead of via the internet ... well, that
wouldn't matter at all, surely?  If aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP of the NAT
router then whether the request goes via the internet and back, or whether
the NAT box realises it points to itself, doesn't matter at all - the IP
address is still the correct IP address, the scheme still works as described
and intended.
