Hi,

I've got my LAN setup with dyndns and an ADSL connection and a Zyxel
router provided by the ISP. The problem is that I cannot use the dyndns
DN from within the LAN. It seems that from the LAN, the dyndns-name
resolves to the correct WAN-IP. 

lifebook34:~$ host ???.dyndns.org
???.dyndns.org has address 85.82.???.???

But the router routes directly to the LAN-IP

lifebook34:~$ traceroute ???.dyndns.org
traceroute to ???.dyndns.org (85.82.???.???), 30 hops max, 40 byte
packets
1  192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1)  8.580 ms  8.705 ms  8.811 ms

This make perfect sense, but it obviously causes port-forwarding to
fail, and so I cannot connect to the server-machine. 

So how do I solve this? The only way I can think of is to somehow
override the global DNS name when making lookups from the LAN. Is this
possible? How to do it easily? I really want to avoid having to set up
a local DNS-server. (hosts-file override is not an option since I move
the hosts in question)

Clearly I'm missing something here, so advice is greatly appreciated.

B.
